Saint Francis was born on August 21, 1567, and in 1593 the saint received the priesthood. From 1594 to 1598 he was assigned to the hard and dangerous mission of proclaiming the gospel among the Protestants of Chablais. As a result of his efforts, the saint was able to bring about 70,000 souls to the Catholic faith.

In 1602, he was anointed bishop of Saint-Genf and found around 21,000 letters and 40,000 sermons, testifying to his great zeal for the believers. He practiced the words “I am all things to all” in St. Paul’s life and became prominent in the eyes of many.

We can describe the character of the saint with two words – compassion and love – the secret of the saint’s success. His writings reflect the compassion and the glory of God. His most famous work is The Introduction to the Devout Liffey, an adaptation of Christ. This is considered a sketch of Christian perfection.

The lifestyle of St. Francis was to make a person, gentle and happy. Francis Salas’ friendship with Saint Francis de Shantal was also heard. In cooperation with this saint, he founded the Visitation Church in 1610. Because of his love for his diocese, the saint refused many noble titles, including cardinal status. In view of the ‘Introduction’ and other writings of the saint, the Church has declared the saint to be one of the church’s bibles.

He was not a saint by birth. The saint was a former furious and quick-tempered man. For him, one small thing was enough to get him angry and commit violent acts. It was after many years that the saint rested on his impatience and his wrath.

Even when he was a bishop, the saint would give up his self-control at times (for example: if someone bellowed before his sermon was over). The important thing is that the saints have been able to exercise their complete self-control through undisturbed effort. His self-control ability is seen by many theological scholars.
