Feast of St Francis de Sales

I was walking around Strasbourg Cathedral, its great bells peeling out. It rises up around the buildings, soaring, dominating the street leading to it. What an extraordinary sight. On this day though I always think of St Francis de Sales climbing the mountains of the Haute Savoie and of my own long walks coming down the fields around the small churches like Ormaret, sometimes tiny, which perhaps Francis visited on his missions.
