“The observations of a parent given gently and affectionately have much more power to correct a child than those which are given angrily and wrathfully.”  St. Francis de Sales

“Let the world turn upside down, let everything be in darkness, in smoke, in uproar – God is with us.” St. Francis de Sales

“Lift your heart up gently whenever it falls. Humble yourself before God, but do not be astonished by your fall since it is not surprising that weakness is weak, frailty is frail and misery is miserable!”  St. Francis de Sales
