St. Francis de Sales Oratory, known to many as the Cathedral of South St. Louis, is a magnificent building which has allowed Catholics to glorify God for almost 150 years. Looking around for places to visit in St. Louis I was somewhat lost. On one hand, there are places of worship on nearly every block and congregations as diverse as the city itself. However, considering the fact that I do not live in the city and work on weekends, I figured it may be tough to find somewhere that would do this project
St. Francis de Sales was conceived on August 21, 1567, near Geneva, Switzerland. From an early age, he knew he was intended to be a priest. He kept this fact from his family, though, because his father wanted him to seek after a profession in law and politics. Francis attended the University of Paris in 1580, and later went ahead to receive his doctorate in law at the University of Padua. Amid this time, he never lost his passion for God. He studied theology and practiced mental prayers. Francis
St. John Melchoir Bosco - Don Bosco The ‘Salesians’ being the second largest Catholic order in the world exists for only one reason, ‘for the youth.’ Its sole purpose is to continue practicing Don Bosco’s living practices and teachings; to continue to teach and treat the youth of the world with love, kindness and goodness rather than with curse and anger. Don Bosco was an educational practitioner rather than an educational theorist, and so his way of teaching the young was completely different
way from outer disturbance to inner peace. When Teresa was at the age of 39, she started having vivid experiences of God's presence from within her. Some of Teresa's friends, such as Gaspar Daza and Francisco de Salcedo, thought her blessings were works of the devil. Others, such as Diego de Cetina brought comfort to Teresa encouraging her to continue her mental prayer and to also think about humanity of christ. A priest acting as her confessor, told her that it was only the devil working within the
attend church when it is convenient for them and when it fits into their busy schedule. However, this is an elementary view of Christianity. St. Francis de Sales, author of Introduction to the Devout Life, describes and outlines what the true Christian life entails and how one can achieve an advanced relationship with God. St. Francis de Sales begins by defining devotion as “a spiritual activity and liveliness by means of which Divine Love works in us, and causes us to work briskly and lovingly

he helped boys that he saw on the streets, and brought them to the house where he fed them, clothed them, and sheltered them. Then he started his own religious order of 17 priests and brothers, they were called the Salesians in 1859, after St. Francis de Sales. He then setup residences and schools to teach boys grammar and religion, and train them as shoemakers, tailors, and printers. By 1856, he had 150 boys and girls in residence and nearly 500 more in oratories throughout Turin.
I attended Mass at my local parish, the Parish of St. Francis de Sales, on Sunday, October 9th, in order to receive the Sacrament of the Eucharist. This also happens to be the 28th Sunday of Ordinary Time because the priest of the parish, Father Phan, wore green in order to symbolize life, anticipation for the coming of Christ, and hope. The liturgical season of Ordinary Time is also significant because it focuses on the fruits of Jesus’s three-year public ministry, his educational parables, and

Francis de Sales said, “The measure of love is to love without measure.” Growing up, I thought I knew what love was. The literal definition is an intense feeling of deep affection. However, it is much more than that. I married my husband when I was 18 years old, and I was in love. There was nothing anyone could say to me that would have made me think anything different. Then I became a mother. Not to one child, but to three. Again, I thought I knew what love was. Every day, my love for my husband
piety is a leading term and one of the major themes in his theological system. When Calvin went to Paris to continue his humanist studies, studying Greek and Hebrew, he published his earliest characterization on the term, in his Commentary on Seneca’s “De Clementia,” in which he cites Cicero’s rhetorical question, “What is piety but a grateful disposition to one’s parents?” In Calvin’s mind, a primary paradigm for “piety” is the relationship of children to their parents, and especially the sense in

Rising nationalism, the Western Schism, and even new philosophies arising from the renaissance were contributing factors. But on October 31, 1517 every event prior seemed less significant. On this date, Martin Luther nailed a paper listing ninety-five theses, all magnifying problems within the Catholic Church. This was the birth of the protestant reformation, a major blow to the Catholic Church and her followers. This drove the church to make many in-house adjustments, from religious orders to political

According to the definition of De Haan et al (2010, p 610), these are called ‘critical moments.’ The critical moments experienced have all been associated with heightened emotion of differing types, such as relief, sadness or an amazing sensation of increased confidence. According to De Haan et al (2010), experiencing these moments and engaging in a reflective dialogue with a coach, one can arrive to new perspectives
1. Johannes Gutenberg (1395-1468) was a German inventor. Born to a patrician in Mainz, little is known about him other than that he acquired skill in metalworking. He also worked with others in partnerships, but they eventually became suspicious as they were never told of his actual work. He created the printing press using movable type. This allowed for the rapid printing of bibles and the spread of different ideas. This also led to increased literacy. Gutenberg was one of the most influential and
