Saint Francis de Sales

Introduction to the Devout Life

“Consider the grandeur, the beauty, and the multitude of the citizens and inhabitants of that happy land, the millions and millions of angels, Cherubim and Seraphim, the glorious company of Apostles, martyrs, confessors, virgins, and matrons: the multitude is innumerable. Oh, what a blessed company, of whom the least is greater than the whole world! What will it be to behold them all?”
