"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."
Reader/Commenter fRED recently was in Washington, DC, and visited the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception [http://www.nationalshrine.com ]. He sent me this scan of a prayer card he obtained there. Thanks, fRED!
Beautiful prayer.
