Subjects include discerning vocations, questions of marriage, lawsuits, and life decisions, family births and deaths, marital life and relationships, private devotions, prayer and meditation, and conformity to the will of God and the situation in which we find ourselves. Included in this collection are many letters of spiritual direction to Madame de Chantal, with whom St. Frances de Sales would found the Congregation of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin.
