About the Author:
Saint Francis was Bishop of Geneva and is a Doctor of the universal Church. He was only 55 years old when he died in 1622. He was co-founder, with Saint Jane Frances de Chantal, of the Visitation Nuns. It was to Saint Margaret Mary, a member of that order, that Our Lord appeared and requested the Consecration of France to the Sacred Heart. During his lifetime Saint Francis wrote many books and innumerable letters of spiritual advice. He was known far and wide as the best spiritual director of his day. He converted seventy-two thousand Calvinists back to the Catholic Faith. Introduction to the Devout Life is one of his most widely known works. This compilation of gems of wisdom from this great doctor of souls is a small tribute to his genius and sanctity and a book from you will derive much consolation.
