He gives good example of how to be patient and wait to do things according to God's will
I thank the church for this websites, I like reading about Saint since they make us understand how people who were on this earth before us became christians and lastly saints. St Francis De Sales is a good teaching to christians of today, his humillity, patience, strength and all others teaches us to wait on the Lord. Thank you and thank you to God for Saint Francis De Sales.
I thank God for His Blessed Mother, Saint Joseph and all His saints that we might ask them to intercede for us each day, for ourselves, our wants and our loved ones. Saint Francis please pray for me that I might be published and spread the Good News the best way I can.

I thank to God for gave me the talent to be a writer. Now I ask to St Francis De Sales to guide me in my career to become a recognize author.thus, my books bestseller. Thank to my wife who told me about St Francis what important is he to my prayers.
St frances has truly understood all human are God created art. Holiness can be attained by simple lay people regardless their occupation . This has truly brought the universal understanding that people can come together to serve by contributing their professional skill.
The key message : *thou shall not judge*.
It is good reflection as a way of prayer and meditation in the presence of God.

This website is awesome!! So is St. Frances deSales! Thaanks for helping me with my report!!!!
I met him once hes is a passionate fruitful young man. I love him
I LOVED learning about St. Francs de Sales. He is a truely amazing person!!!!
I am deaf and I have always known St Francis was a patron saint of the deaf but why? The story didn't say much about him beng with the deaf. However, I loved the part where he said "a romantic God" I have always known that God was romancing me in my life. Thanks to St Francis for clarifying this for me. Please help convert my daughters back to the Catholic Church. They have left the Church many years ago.
And pray for me to be more patient in all things concerned.
Thank you, St. Francis, my Patron Saint Your story inspired me..
I'm going to use him for my school project. I love writing, so it will be great.
i am totally picking him for confirmation
i never knew that Journalism had its own patron saint, i guess this is the man that helps me to make great articles. this article was truly great perhaps divinely inspired by St. Francis De Sales himself!
Confirmation report is finally finished. Thanks for all the help. Francis De Sales, you are the man!
Beautiful! ...and I thought I already "knew" st. Francis de Sales. Thank you for such a brief but highly enlightening and inspiring write-up
