\"Franz-von-Sales-600\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Today is the feast day of Francis de Sales<\/a>, the patron saint of writers and journalists. A bishop of Geneva, Francis died in 1622. He was fond of using flyers and books to convert Calvinists\u2014hence his patronage, though one can imagine him just as easily settling into a post as patron saint of marketing, or patron saint of well-meaning finger-wagging. <\/p>\n

Francis\u2019s most enduring work is 1609\u2019s Introduction to the Devout Life<\/a><\/i>, which was written for laypeople\u2014a novel idea at the time. CatholiCity, a repository of \u201cthe Finest Catholic CDs, Booklets, and Novels,\u201d calls it \u201cthe most popular Catholic \u2018self-help\u2019 book of all time,\u201d and when you peruse the table of contents, it\u2019s not hard to see why. There\u2019s plenty of practical wisdom on offer, e.g., \u201cAll Evil Inclinations Must Be Purged Away\u201d; \u201cOne Word to Maidens\u201d; \u201cDryness and Spiritual Barrenness\u201d; \u201cHow to Exercise Real Poverty, Although Actually Rich\u201d; and, conversely, \u201cHow to Possess a Rich Spirit Amid Real Poverty.\u201d Then there\u2019s the meditation on hell, which goes from yogic to despairing at the drop of a mitre:<\/p>\n

\n

Preparation
<\/em>1. Place yourself in God\u2019s Presence.
2. Humble yourself, and ask His Aid.
3. Picture to yourself a dark city, reeking with the flames of sulphur and brimstone, inhabited by citizens who cannot get forth.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

In fact, hell has a way of rearing its infernal head at awkward moments throughout the Devout Life<\/i>, perhaps as in life itself. Here\u2019s a bit from \u201cBalls, and Other Lawful But Dangerous Amusements,\u201d which doesn\u2019t mean what you think it does:<\/p>\n

\n

Balls and similar gatherings are wont to attract all that is bad and vicious; all the quarrels, envyings, slanders, and indiscreet tendencies of a place will be found collected in the ballroom. While people\u2019s bodily pores are opened by the exercise of dancing, the heart\u2019s pores will be also opened by excitement \u2026 while you were dancing, souls were groaning in hell by reason of sins committed when similarly occupied, or in consequence thereof.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Buzzkill, Francis! Not all his advice is so starchy, though. In \u201cWe Must Attend to the Business of Life Carefully, But Without Eagerness or Over-Anxiety,\u201d he writes, \u201cImitate a little child, whom one sees holding tight with one hand to its father, while with the other it gathers strawberries or blackberries from the wayside hedge.\u201d (I do this literally all the time\u2014can\u2019t recommend it highly enough.)<\/p>\n

Still, if Francis has really been watching over the Fourth Estate for these many centuries, one imagines he\u2019s pretty disappointed with the profession. After all, journalists and writers are not known for their piety, to put it mildly. Saving Calvinists from perdition no longer moves us to dip our pens. Should you feast to Francis tonight, you might do him a solid and refrain, as he asks of you, from \u201ctoo much thoughts of meats and platters.\u201d Then he could check off that box, at least, and think to himself, Frank, you old sermonizer, you\u2019ve still got it.<\/p>\n

You can read all of Introduction to the Devout Life <\/i>on CatholiCity<\/a>, which also offers a FREE JESUS CRUCIFIED LAPEL PIN AND 8X10 ART-HOUSE PRINT<\/small> to all who donate.<\/p>\n
