O God, who for the salvation of souls willed that the Bishop Saint Francis de Sales become all things to all, graciously grant that, following his example, we may always display the gentleness of charity in the service of our neighbor.Charity and meekness are hallmarks of today's saint who was a terrific bishop and is a Doctor of the Church. Without charity how can one truly be a disciple of Christ?
Among many things, Saint Francis de Sales was a co-founder of the Order of the Visitation with Saint Jane De Chantal.
Let us follow his witness and good example.
