Take care of your health, that it may serve you to serve God.

St Francis De Sales

It is to those who have the most need of us that we ought to show our love more especially.
ST FRANCIS DE SALES

Love Need Ourselves
To lose ourselves in God is simply to give up our own will to Him. When a soul can truly say Lord I have no other will than Thine it is truly lost in God and united to Him.
ST FRANCIS DE SALES

Give Up God Lose Ourselves Soul True Unity
To live according to the spirit is to love according to the spirit.
ST FRANCIS DE SALES

Live Love Spirit
A heart-memory is better than a mere head-memory. Better to carry away a little of the love of Christ in our souls, than if we were able to repeat every word of every sermon we ever heard.
ST FRANCIS DE SALES

God Head Heart Memories Ourselves Repeat Word
By giving yourself to God, You not only receive Himself in exchange, but eternal life as well.
ST FRANCIS DE SALES

Forever God Life Yourself
Do not wish to be anything but what you are, and try to be that perfectly.
ST FRANCIS DE SALES

Don’t get upset with your imperfections. Surrender to the Power of God’s Love, which is greater than our weakness.
ST FRANCIS DE SALES

Greatness Imperfection Ourselves Power Upset Weakness
One single day of devotion is worth more than a thousand years of worldly life.
ST FRANCIS DE SALES

Every moment comes to us pregnant with a command from God, only to pass on and plunge into eternity, there to remain forever what we have made of it.
ST FRANCIS DE SALES

Command Forever God Moments Pregnant
Have patience with all things, But, first of all with yourself.
ST FRANCIS DE SALES

All the science of the Saints is included in these two things: To do, and to suffer. And whoever had done these two things best, has made himself most saintly.
ST FRANCIS DE SALES

Himself Science Suffering
Do not desire crosses, unless you have borne those already laid upon you well — it is an abuse to long after martyrdom while unable to bear an insult patiently.
ST FRANCIS DE SALES

Born Desire Insult Patience
One single act done with aridity of spirit is worth more than many done with feelings of devotion.
ST FRANCIS DE SALES

Devotion Feeling Oneself Spirit Worth
A judicious silence is always better than truth spoken without charity.
ST FRANCIS DE SALES

Better Charity Silence Truth
Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength.
ST FRANCIS DE SALES

Gentle Reality Strength Strong
Friendships begun in this world will be taken up again, never to be broken off.
ST FRANCIS DE SALES
