Gathered here are letters of spiritual direction written by Francis (1567-1622) and Jane (1572-1641) that reveal the richness of Salesian spirituality. The letters show the daily attempts of laity, clergy, cloistered religious and others to live in the authentic spirit of Jesus.

A love affair. They were both under monastic vow, openly in love with each other; expressed and lived through their deep commitment to the Christ figure. The sweet, soft, nurturing nature of their spirituality is warmly expressed through their letters. It was the post Reformation Christian

perspective through the lens of French spirituality. It's easy to read, a few letters at a time. Another great installment in 'The Classics of Western Spirituality' library.
