Use these ten reflections taken from Part One of The Introduction to the Devout Life
as a focus for your own personal ten-day retreat. If possible, consider partnering with
a spiritual companion or with the members (where applicable) of your small church/faith
sharing community.
Begin each day with the corresponding reflection following the order recommended by
St. Francis de Sales himself. Open your mind, your heart, your attitudes and your
actions to the healing, nourishing and challenging power and presence of the Holy
Spirit. Ask for the insight to be more of who God may be calling you to be. Ask
for the courage to be that, and to be that well, precisely in the state and stage
of life in which you find yourself.
May this experience help you to turn away from sin and grow in a life of devotion.
