His Works

A practice very beneficial to the soul is to elevate the mind to God by the consideration of all His works which we see around us, admiring in them His adorable perfections, the love He bears us, and the obligation under which we are to serve Him faithfully.

-- Author of The Spiritual Combat

This was the continual practice of St. Francis de Sales, which he had learned in that excellent book called The Spiritual Combat, which he esteemed so highly that he always carried it with him.
