Examples of Service

The opening collect for today's memorial, Saint Francis de Sales, spoke about him being an example. Saint Francis de Sales was a Bishop and Doctor of the Church. He touched many lives by his writings. However, I would also say that he touched people's lives by his example and that is more than words. His life, his ministry is an example and that is why the Church holds him up as a model for the faithful. As disciples of Jesus, we are called to be examples, not just with words but with our lives as well. May Saint Francis de Sales intercede for us as we follow his example so that we can be examples of service to others. God Bless You!!!!!
