“Be who you are, and be that well!”

St. Francis de Sales, Co-Founder of the Visitation Sisters

Be who you are, and be that perfectly well. ~St. Francis de Sales

I believe this is the heart of Salesian Spirituality.  Simply to be who you are, be the person God made you to be.  The beauty of Salesian Spirituality is that it welcomes each and everyone of us to live for Christ exactly how we are, faults and all.  This is what draws me in so tightly to Salesian Spirituality.  We don’t have to be perfect to come to God, we just need to be willing to accept ourselves, all our talents and all our flaws.  St. Francis de Sales says it perfectly.  Be who you are, and be that perfectly well.  Don’t stress and agonize about all the flaws, embraced them, and live fully
in God’s glory!
