The Mission of St. Francis of Sales in the Chablais is a historical account of the life and work of Saint Francis of Sales, a 16th-century French bishop and theologian who is known for his writings on the Catholic faith and his work as a missionary. The book was written by Mary Elizabeth Herbert and originally published in 1868.The book covers the period of St. Francis of Sales' life when he was sent on a mission to the Chablais region of France, which was then a stronghold of the Protestant Reformation. The mission was a difficult one, as the people of Chablais were strongly opposed to the Catholic Church and had been taught to distrust and fear its teachings.Despite these challenges, St. Francis of Sales worked tirelessly to spread the message of the Catholic faith and to win over the hearts and minds of the people of Chablais. He preached, wrote letters, and engaged in debates with Protestant leaders, always with the goal of bringing people back to the Catholic Church.The book provides a detailed account of St. Francis of Sales' mission, including his struggles and triumphs, and offers insights into his personality, his beliefs, and his methods. It also provides a fascinating glimpse into the religious and political landscape of 16th-century France, and the challenges faced by those who sought to spread the Catholic faith in a time of great upheaval and change.Overall, The Mission of St. Francis of Sales in the Chablais is a compelling and informative read for anyone interested in the history of the Catholic Church, the Protestant Reformation, or the life and work of one of the Church's most beloved saints.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
