A quote from St. Francis de Sales

Today is the feast day of St. Francis de Sales  (August 21, 1567 – December 28, 1622) who  is known  for his writings on the topic of spiritual direction and spiritual formation, particularly Introduction to the Devout Life, along with his Treatise on the Love of God.

Here is a favorite quote:

Have no fear for what tomorrow may bring.  The same loving God who cares for you today will take care of you tomorrow and every day. God will either shield you from suffering or give you unfailing strength to bear it.  Be at peace, then, and put aside all anxious thought and imaginations.
