St. Francis de Sales is an ideal model of the zeal, spiritual principles, and attitude of one who sets out to live and share the Faith. On a Mission details the sanctifying process of cooperating with God's grace as he lovingly forms an apostolic heart for others within each of us.

Author's goal in this book, is to share with us what some great men and women of God have taught him about having the heart of an apostle and what it means to be on a mission. The first step is saying yes to God. The second step is saying yes to one's neighbor. The third step, St. Philip Neri says, is to “let a little love find entrance into their hearts, and the rest will follow.” And finally, remembering that you are on a mission from God, let your motto be that of Blessed Junipero Serra: “Siempre Adelante! Always forward!”
