St. Francis de Sales


“The person who possesses Christian meekness is affectionate and tender towards everyone: he is disposed to forgive and excuse the frailties of others; the goodness of his heart appears in a sweet affability that influences his words and actions, presents every object to his view in the most charitable and pleasing light.”

                                              - St. Francis de Sales   1567-1622

    i was listening to a Christian radio program this a.m. and they were talking about meek and humble. meek should reflect our relationship with others and humble our relationship with God.
