Our souls must give birth (St. Francis de Sales)



  Our souls must give birth, not outside themselves, 
but inside themselves, to the sweetest, gentlest, 
and most beautiful child imaginable.  
It is Jesus whom we must bring to birth 
and produce in ourselves.  
You are pregnant with him… Live Jesus!

--St. Francis de Sales,
Letter to St. Jane de Chantal, 1604
