Excerpt from OEuvres de Saint Francois de Sales, Eveque Et Prince de Geneve Et Docteur de l'Eglise, Vol. 6: Les Vrays Entretiens Spirituels
De Bourges, de Paris, ou elle etait allee fonder des Monasteres, sainte jeanne-francoise fait circuler les precieux Manuscrits dans l'institut naissant. Bien plus, elle ne cesse de conjurer le saint Fondateur d'entretenir la Communaute d'annecy, ce qu'il lui accordait facile ment. Nos Soeurs d'ici font fort bien, ecrivait - il le 13 decembre 1619, et n'y a rien a redire, sinon qu'elles veulent trop bien faire, a fin que nostre Mere reve nant, treuve que tout va bien; cela les presse un peu. Hier nous fismes un entretien ou je m'essayay de les mettre un peu au large. Cet entretien dut etre suivi de plusieurs autres; car, le 12 fevrier 1620, la Sainte ecrit (2) exhorte fort nos Soeurs; c'est pour l'utilite de toutes les Maisons, je l'ai fort prie de le faire.

Francis de Sales was Bishop of Geneva, and was an accomplished preacher. He is known also for his writings on the topic of spiritual direction and spiritual formation, particularly Introduction to the Devout Life.
Francis came to the conclusion that whatever God had in store for him was good, because God is Love, as Scripture attests. This faithful devotion to the God of love not only expelled his doubts, but also influenced the rest of his life and his teachings.
