Excerpt from Trait� de l'Amour de Dieu, Vol. 2
La comparaison de l'amour des petits enfeus envers leur m�re ne doit point �tre abandonn�e � cause de son innocence et puret�. Voyons donc ce beau petit enfant auquel sa m�re assise pr�sente ron sein; il se jette de force entre les bras d'icclle, ra massant et pliant tout son petit corps dans ce giron et sur cette poit�ine aimable. Et voyez r�ciproquement sa m�re, comme le recevant, elle le serre, cl, par mani�re de dire, le colle 'a son sein, et le baisent, joint sa bouche 'a la sienne. Ma�s voyez derechef ce petit poupog app�t� des caresses mateme��es comme de son c�t� il coop�re 'a cette union d'entre sa m�re et lui; car il se serre aussi et se presse tant qu'il peut par lui - m�me, sur la poitrine et le visage de sa m�re et semble qu'il se veuille tout enfoncer et cacher dans ce sein qg1�ah�e duquel il est extrait.

Francis de Sales was Bishop of Geneva, and was an accomplished preacher. He is known also for his writings on the topic of spiritual direction and spiritual formation, particularly Introduction to the Devout Life.
Francis came to the conclusion that whatever God had in store for him was good, because God is Love, as Scripture attests. This faithful devotion to the God of love not only expelled his doubts, but also influenced the rest of his life and his teachings.
