O Saint Francis of Sales, who carried out your pastoral ministry with untiring dedication, help us to be zealous builders of God’s Kingdom. Give us optimism and gentleness in tribulations, so that we may bring the love of Christ to the young. Teach us to cultivate a deep interior life, rooted in trust in God and celebrated in simplicity and joy, so that following your example we may be worthy to reach our homeland in heaven. Amen.
To read a short biography on the life of St. Francis de Sales go to The Life Story of St. Francis de Sales. A video presentation is also available in that link.
