Lift Up Your Heart: A 10 Day Personal Retreat with St. Francis de Sales - Fr. John Burns

By Fr. John Burns

St. Francis de Sales' Introduction to the Devout Life takes on new life in Lift Up Your Heart, where Fr. John Burns interprets the saint's ten meditations for the modern reader and distills them into a ten-day mini-retreat that can easily be completed in the midst of a busy life.

This practical book goes right to the heart of helping you to start actively pursuing holiness and devotion to God. During the course of the retreat, you'll learn the basics of forming a daily prayer routine, including how to offer yourself to God, meditate on his love, and maintain peace in the face of suffering and clarity in the midst of temptation. 

In a very real sense, Fr. Burns helps you take St. Francis de Sales as your spiritual director for ten days. As you do so, you’ll feel God’s fatherly love and restart your faith life, equipped with the tools to connect with God and live for heaven now.
