Following his ordination in 1593, Francis de Sales traveled throughout Switzerland to share the Faith. Hoping to open hearts, he slipped simple pamphlets under doors instead of lecturing people. He spent time playing with the children instead of proselytizing. In his famous book, Introduction to the Devout Life, Francis taught millions that holiness and peace are possible for everyone. The key was prayer. “By turning your eyes on God in meditation,” he said, “your whole soul will be filled with God.”
