Francis de Sales

Francis de Sales (1567–1622) was a Savoyard nobleman who gave up a law career and an arranged Senate seat to become a priest and, from 1602, Bishop of Geneva, governing in exile from Annecy. Remembered as the gentlest of saints, he insisted that holiness was possible for ordinary lay people in the middle of the world; his Introduction to the Devout Life has stayed in print for four centuries. He was canonized in 1665, declared a Doctor of the Church in 1877, and since 1923 is the patron saint of writers and journalists.
