On the occasion of the 400th anniversary since St. Francis’s death, the Salesians in Malta have prepared this publication that looks at Francis de Sales as an author, a theologian, a spiritual director among other aspects. In fact the topics covered are: Francis de Sales as a precursor for ecumenical dialogue; the Salesian style of spiritual direction; the perspective of psychosynthesis to Francis de Sales’s accompaniment; Salesian meditation; de Sales’s reference to the Fathers of the Church; Francis de Sales’s use of the verse 8:6 from Song of Songs; the mutually nourishing spiritual friendship between de Sales and St. Jane Frances de Chantal; and finally, a look at the Neapolitan composer Francesco Feo’s Oratorio Francesco di Sales: Apostolos del Chablais.
The authors, who are all Maltese, include Salesians of Don Bosco, a Carmelite, a Dominican, diocesan priests, and lay people.
The book contains 304 pages.
