Vive Jésus

Live Jesus

St. Francis de Sales, doctor of the Church and spiritual father to so many, dedicated his entire existence to being another Christ. His motto, Live Jesus, expressed his spiritual vision of putting himself aside and allowing others to encounter Jesus in him. In a time when we are told to seek self-fulfillment and do what is right for ‘me’, St. Francis de Sales guides us in the opposite way, putting Christ first, and then our neighbor. 

“O Savior of our souls we may eternally sing: Vive Jésus! I love Jesus. Live Jesus whom I love! I love Jesus, who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.”

Treatise on the Love of God, book XII, chapter 13
