Known to be a prolific writer (he was proclaimed a patron saint of writers and journalists by Pope Pius XI in 1923), Francis de Sales wrote about what he loved most: God and faith. He was born in 1567, and was later destined to carry the title of the Bishop of Geneva before being canonized in Rome by Pope Alexander VII in 1665, forty three years after his death.
The Secret of Sanctity teaches about the spirituality around the ritual of receiving the eucharist. It touches on the meaning of the eucharist (the body, blood, coil, and divinity of Christ), and how to use frequent confession to forge deeper connections with Christ. This book is a must-read for Catholics, particularly those who are new to the faith.
