St Francis de Sales Bücher

Die 'Philothea' oder 'Anleitung zum frommen Leben' zählt zu den wahren Klassikern der christlichen Spiritualität. Dem hl. Franz von Sales (1567-1622), dem bedeutenden Kirchenlehrer und Mystiker des 17. Jahrhunderts, ist mit dieser praktischen Anleitung zum christlichen Leben inmitten der Welt ein Bestseller gelungen, der selbst 400 Jahre nach dem ersten Erscheinen nichts an Bedeutung verloren hat. Die hier vorliegende Übersetzung von P. Dr. Franz Reisinger OSFS gibt das französische Original ungekürzt und getreu wieder, ergänzt mit einem Gebetsanhang und Erläuterungen zum besseren Verständnis.

Discover the particular plan God has for your life. Learn what God's will is and how He reveals it in even the seemingly random events of your life. You'll see why you should love and trust in God's will, and you'll learn a sure method for discovering God's will in any situation.

From the young St. Francis de Sales' heroic efforts to bring Calvinists back to the Faith comes this succinct, eloquent defense of the age-old Catholic practice of making the Sign of the Cross, which 16th century Calvinists denounced as a Popish invention and many Protestants scorn even today. Along with St. Francis's other lucid explanations of the Catholic Faith and his undaunted love even for those who hated him, this modest book helped restore to their native Catholic faith tens of thousands of people who not long before were intent on killing him.As they did for the Calvinists in St. Francis's day, so in our day these ably translated pages will bring you a better understanding of and a renewed love for the Sign of the Cross, that brief and lively exterior prayer by which, from time immemorial, God has been invoked by serious Christians before all of their endeavors.
