Mystical Flora of St Francis de Sales

Few among the Church’s writers surpass St Francis de Sales in the skilful use of comparisons drawn from nature to illustrate the operations of grace in the spiritual life.  This book brings together the choicest of St Francis’s spiritual comparisons drawn from plants and flowers, forming a perfect treatise on the devout life, from its first faltering steps to its fulfilment, following the principles set out by the saint in his ascetical writings.

It will bring delight to all who love plants, and will bring profit to all who seek grace. Generously illustrated in this new editions with contemporary plant engravings.
