Today at Mass we celebrate the Feast Day of St Francis de Sales.
He had a theological crisis in his teens... Took an interest in 'predestination', and suffered anxiety and depression that if he was predestined to hell, then nothing he did would make any difference. The worry made him so sick he was confined to bed.
Had a lightbulb moment at a Catholic Church, and decided to be the best himself he could be, and leave his fate to God.
Renowned for his gentle, kind, approach, and very understanding of others. Brought many back to Mother Church inspired by his kindness.
His sayings that have been left for us have relevance that resonates with many people today, within the Catholic faith, and to people of all faiths and none.
Ladies and gentlemen, we celebrate a great, kind, gentle soul today... St Francis de Sales 👏
