I have heard little about Francois De ...Hi Joseph, <br />I have heard little about Francois De Sales myself, but I too am impressed with his insights. I think he is greatly revered within the Catholic church and I wonder if Mother Teresa read his works, because like you mentioned, she says many things along the same vein and she had that tenderness of spirit I see in his writings. <br />Regarding the four gospels, now let me see if I can remember this, the gospel of Matthew was written to the Jews who looked to the fathers generational lines for their Messiah, and so Matthew begins with genealogy, Christs greatest sermons are in Matthew, his authority is pronounce more dramatically in this book. Mark was written to the Romans who valued power, and Christs miracles are focused on more in this book. The book of Luke is written to the Greeks who revered logic and philosophy so Christ told more of His parables in Luke. John was written to the gentiles and His far reaching glory and mercy is stressed their. It has been some time since I heard this and I may have some of it backward but it does illustrate how Christ adapts to his hearers. <br />God bless,<br />FredFCBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08741867097151481332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8905807.post-73552240824989877212009-09-22T07:29:19.630-07:002009-09-22T07:29:19.630-07:00Hi Fred:)
This is the first time I read something...Hi Fred:)<br /><br />This is the first time I read something about Francis de Sales. He seems to be an expert in dealing with human beings. I also did not know that the four versions of the Bible were written for four different people.<br /><br />I have been buying all my stationery here in Kochi from a shop named Francis de Sales press. But I never realized he is such a great man. Thanks for sharing.<br /><br />Many, many thanks for telling your friend about my blog.<br /><br />Have a nice day Fred:)<br />JosephJoseph Pulikotilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07074346261093541776noreply@blogger.com
