I Am Truly Called to the Devotional Life

St. Francis DeSales gives templates for step-by-step meditations that we can work through in the context of dedicated prayer time. By meditating upon these mysteries, he explains, we are drawn into the things of God and shaped by them. With St. Francis, we too can afford to be hopeful, for God has indeed gotten around to our spiritual life. We cannot set out to live the divine life with merely human effort.
