Saint Francis de Sales, a French bishop from four centuries ago, remains a shining example for those seeking meaning in times of change. Pope Francis, in his letter Totum amoris est (Everything Belongs to Love), describes him as someone who deeply connected with people, helping them find God in their daily lives.
What made him special? His focus on charity, joy, and freedom. For him, faith wasn’t a burden but a living experience reflected in love for others and a personal way of life.
His message is clear and powerful: don’t fear change—embrace it as an opportunity to grow. Saint Francis de Sales saw every transformation as a chance to draw closer to God and live faith authentically, free from empty formalities.
Today, his example inspires us to pursue a genuine spirituality rooted in action, joy, and love.
