A Moment From De Sales

Pillars of Gentle Strength to Support Your Journey.

Based on the spiritual writings of Saint Francis de Sales 

God Made us to Love.

Jesus has already saved us.

In God’s eyes everyone matters and counts.

God desires only our good and daily blesses everyone the same.

Jesus’ mercy  has already written  the last chapter of our lives ; our concern is the chapter we are writing today. 

To live successfully is to live faithfully.

Faith and Trust grow better together.

God loves  who we are right now and not who we didn’t become.

We need to embrace the person we are today and not mourn the person we are not.

God never tires of forgiving us; even if we grow  tired of asking.

God never makes a mistake.

We are a work in progress, never a finished product.

If we  always  begin  again after mistakes, God’s face greets us on our last day.

Nothing is so strong as gentleness. Nothing is so gentle as real strength.
