Letters from a Saint
A Path of Practical Holiness
In France, around 1600, St. Francis de Sales wrote a series of letters to a young woman counseling her on practicing her Catholic faith amidst the distractions and temptations of daily life. These letters became the timeless spiritual classic, Introduction to the Devout Life.
Participants in this course will explore St. Francis' insights on transforming everyday experiences into opportunities for spiritual growth and learning to navigate life's challenges with grace, virtue, and devout intention. Each session in this course illuminates a different facet of the devout life, from the foundational principles of prayer and repentance to the art of cultivating virtue and the strength to withstand temptation. This course is a practical guide for anyone aspiring to deepen their spiritual life.
