"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."
That was good, Jay. Short but sweet. The thought that came to mind that I'm sure you'd agree with is: Why in the world do not all parishes do Missions during Advent (like Lent)? Did they used to? Obviously some do but do most not? Just wondering. I think I already know the answer to that one.
