Studies in Salesian Spirituality


“St Francis de Sales and Religious life” is the 8th in the series of “Studies in Salesian Spirituality.” It highlights the various aspects of religious life in a Salesian perspective. Quite in consonance with the teaching of the Church and well-founded both pastorally and theologically, this book presents elements, a more holistic approach to the same life­style taking inspiration from St Francis de Sales which, is less controversial, but, at the same, more in keeping with consecrated life itself, particularly with reference to our own times and the mind of the church.
