Saint Francis de Sales was born in France to a noble family. His father had big plans for a scholarly or political career for him and had even chosen a charming bride, but Francis held secret plans in his heart. He wanted to give his life to God. He was slow to act on his desires until one day when he kept falling from his horse and three times when his sword and scabbard landed in the shape of a cross, when they hit the ground, Francis finally got the message. His gentleness and refined education later earned him the nickname “the Gentlemen Saint.”
