SALESIAN LITERATURE

Prayer and Surrender

Studies in Salesian Spirituality


Two seminars have been held on the Treatise on the Love of God (Books VI to IX) under the titles: Love and Union in Prayer and Surrender to God. The findings of these seminars are presented here in book form (Two volumes in one book) for further study and reflection. This book makes the humble effort to facilitate the reading and understanding of the Love of God. St. Francis de Sales expounds here a creative and optimistic spirituality which can make life brighter, lighter, human and worth living.
