Thank you for this video Father. I am currently in OCIA and I have chosen St Francis De Sales as my spiritual guide and confirmation saint. He is everything that I aspire to be as a person. I have just began reading his book, Introuduction to the Devout Life, and I can already see through his writing how kind and gentle he was as a person.
@@brendankilcoyne282 Greetings, I think you're right Father, I read that Nuns transferred his heart out of Lyon during the French revolution, I remember visiting a Church in Annecy years ago and they had there his remains and those of his great friend St Jeanne de Chantal. Great inspiration, even for us today in these complicated times we're in. Take care and thanks again.
WOW ... this was awesome ..I learned a lot. ...... Also "Maybe some people not a million miles away could learn something from him" .... BAHAHAHA ... TOO FUNNY
Loved this!
Love Francis de Sales! The Church has had so many great saints that he flies under the radar but he's a Doctor of the Church for a reason!
Lovely explanation of his life as a priest.Gid Bless❤❤

Thank you I really appreciate this today
Thank you for this interesting talk
Tiny correction if I may be so bold, he died here in Lyon in 1622, thanks for that very interesting biography. Hope there'll be others.
Many thanks John and apologies. Yes, died in Lyon but buried in Annecy. Was his heart buried in Lyon originally?

Debbie. Who did he mean. At least give Iniatials!
@@annettemurphy8349 Maybe connect with him and ask him who he specifically meant ? I can only assume who he meant ...
