Maxims and Counsels of St. Francis de Sales For Every day of the Year is a timeless spiritual guide that offers daily wisdom drawn from the gentle and profound teachings of one of Catholicism’s most beloved saints, the "Doctor of Divine Love," Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622). Known for his compassionate approach to spirituality, his writings emphasize virtues such as humility, gentleness, simplicity, and patience.

Saint Francis de Sales' maxims offer a path to inner tranquility by encouraging readers to embrace their imperfections, trust in God's providence, and cultivate a peaceful and loving heart in all circumstances, whether facing life's trials or joys!

These enlightened excerpts were translated and arranged by Eleanor "Ella" McMahon (1864-1956), an inspiring writer in her own right and the daughter of Reverend John Henry McMahon. Ella's compiled devotional presents a year's worth of reflections—each designed to inspire, console, and direct the heart toward holiness.
