Practical Piety of St. Francis de Sales: Chapter 13: Divestment of Self Confidence in God

About this sermon

June is dedicated to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus—a month in which Holy Mother Church invites us to contemplate the immeasurable love of Christ and to respond with a deeper love, trust, and surrender to Him. In this reflection from Chapter 13, "Of the Divestment of Self and the Confidence in God," St. Francis de Sales, the Doctor of Divine Love, teaches us the importance of self-denial, holy humility, courage in trials, confidence in Divine Providence, and complete dependence upon God's grace. The saint reminds us that the Christian life requires detachment from self, perseverance through difficulties, and unwavering trust in God's loving care. Even amid our weaknesses, imperfections, and sufferings, we are called to keep our eyes fixed upon God, who guides us through every obstacle and supplies the grace necessary for every duty. As we honor the Sacred Heart of Jesus during this blessed month, may we learn from St. Francis de Sales to abandon ourselves entirely to God's will, trusting that His grace will never fail us.
