The Art of Loving God: Simple Virtues for the Christian Life

The Art of Loving God: Simple Virtues for the Christian Life

Simple secrets of holiness that the saints themselves use â€” revealed by a saint!

There are as many paths to holiness as there are saints in Heaven . . . but you canâ€™t follow them all. Yet thereâ€™s one thing every saint practices that you can imitate: the simple art of loving God, which the beloved St. Francis de Sales explains for you here.

Under his wise and gentle guidance, youâ€™ll discover the secrets to growing holier through the simple things in life â€” work, play, and rest. Youâ€™ll learn to avoid the distractions (even religious distractions) that trouble and weary your soul . . . and youâ€™ll soon be able to focus your energy simply on loving God.

Listen to the holy words of this saint; take them to heart; make them a part of your life. Soon youâ€™ll be well on your way, following that path to Heaven that God, from all eternity, has given you as your very own.

St. Francis de Sales himself will teach you the secrets of developing:

Patience

Trust

Modesty

Courage

Simplicity

Humility

Obedience

Generosity

Perseverance

Selflessness

Gentleness

Love of God

and other key virtues

A note for the skeptical and discouraged:

Have you tried to grow closer to God using one technique after another, yet still find you havenâ€™t made much progress? Thatâ€™s a common problem in todayâ€™s world, where devotion has become so complicated that the simple art of loving God has been lost.

Donâ€™t despair. Generations of Christians have made finding God harder than it need be, which is why, every few hundred years, God sends us a saint like St. Francis de Sales to remind us that anyone can love God and that itâ€™s not really so hard to do. Listen to St. Francis, and, no matter how many times youâ€™ve failed in the past, youâ€™ll soon be a master of the art of loving God.
