St. Francis de Sales Comments
Born in France in 1567, Francis was a patient man. He knew for thirteen years that he had a vocation to the priesthood before he mentioned it to his family. When his father said that he wanted Francis to be a soldier and sent him to Paris to study, Francis said nothing.

2-page report done! Thanks!
amazing site... 4-5pg essay report... done!
yea!! no more saint report for me!!
Good site! Thanks!!!
Now, my confirmation is done.
This really helped me with me homework about St's
This article has increased my interest in St. Francis making me wish to read "introduction to the Devout Life."
wow this helped me a ton! :-)
with the other sites i could barely understand what the heck they were talking about... this is the best article i have found yet! tanks a ton!!!!!
Right now I have to write a report on my saint for Confirmation. I chose him because he is the patron saint of writing ( which I love to do !) I never knew he had such an amazing story. This is way better than any other site I used. Thanks!
Very good article. Helped me a lot on my paper.
What an inspiration! I love St. Francis De Sales. His story is so motivating. As an instrument of the Holy Spirit, he displays true humility, as he strives to imitate our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
And he's my patron saint. So, he's awesome.
Wow! what an amazing story,I wish I had his patience, I could really use it.
Humility is the virtues I am most praying for, thank-you Lord for this wonderful Saint.
I love the part where he talks of mysticism being like a romantic heart. To write on trees of the name you love...to write on hearts the name of Jesus!
wow. he's amazing. he never gave up and that's something people need to understand.He never turned away. even when he had every door slammed in his face. we need people like him in this world today.
Amazing. His story is one of my favorites, and I chose to report about him for my exam. I wish I could write as well as he, because I just love to write!
if there was a girl patron saint for authors, i'd pick her for my confirmation. :[. But wow, all the things that he did... especially the conversion of 40,000 people. that takes dedication. he's a great saint for any guy to choose at confirmation.
St Francis de Sales, please guide a well known journalist to reveal the real truth about Obama's birth certificate as soon as possible.
God is amazing....i thank him everyday for putting me with this wonderful family and providing me with food and shelter =]
