"You aim at a devout life, dear Philothea, because as a Christian you know that such devotion is most acceptable to God's Divine Majesty," says St. Francis de Sales in his book "Introduction to the Devout Life".
And we can all be Philotheas, as St. Francis notes: "I have made use of a name suitable to all who seek the devout life, Philothea meaning one who loves God."
October is my favorite month and Autumn my favorite season! I am no fan of Thomas Merton, but he referred to this time of the year as the "season of new beginnings" and in my life I have found it so.
Beautiful!
