Images of travel and voyages abound in the writings of St. Francis de Sales who encouragingly and alluringly invites those seeking his guidance to travel the road that Jesus himself has so graciously and courageously opened up for us. This he has done by his life, death and resurrection, thereby giving us access to God. It is St. Francis de Sales s thought and ideas that are paraphrased and adapted here to present an enticing invitation to make this Lenten journey in his company and in that of Our Lord.

Accept the invitation to journey through Lent with Jesus Christ and one of the great spiritual writers of the Catholic Church, St. Francis de Sales. Inside you will find an Invitation from St. Francis de Sales, a short biography of St. Francis de Sales, a description of the Salesian Spirit, and more. Each day of Lent, weekdays and Sundays, begins with: a Gospel Reading, a selection from the Writings of St. Francis de Sales, a Reflection, and a Prayer.

May the presence of Jesus Christ and the gentle and loving kindness of St. Francis de Sales guide you on your Lenten Journey, and lead you to God s Holy Easter of Peace, Love and Joy.
