During the course of the day, recall as often as possible that you are in God's presence. Consider what God does and what you are doing. You will see His eyes turned toward you and constantly fixed on you with incomparable love. Then you will say to Him, "O God, why do I not look always at You, just as You always look at me? Why do You think so often of me, O Lord, and why do I think so seldom of You?" Where are we, O my soul? God is our true place, and where are we? --St. Francis de Sales


Today is the feastday of St. Francis de Sales. He was such a practical, gentle saint. His advice, always simple and natural, applies today to everyone, in all walks of life. Indeed, he saw God as his true place and now enjoys intimate union with Him and intercedes for us all the time, especially today on his feast!
