I've loved everything you've ever posted by him here on your blog, and I've read bits of him in excerpt. I recently finished a book on C.S. Lewis and mysticism and the little sampler-taste of de Sales in that book made me realize I need to read more...Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08589856495993730380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17019672.post-21830527074535131642010-08-18T23:08:17.372-05:002010-08-18T23:08:17.372-05:00Charlotte, thanks for clearing that up.

But, they'd probably tell me to cut back on the caffeine ....Karen Edmisten https://www.blogger.com/profile/04446214835142625161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17019672.post-10991398230175287642010-08-18T08:54:50.120-05:002010-08-18T08:54:50.120-05:00Beautiful Karen.

She actually died on December 13 but in the old calendar was given August 21 as her feast day. In 1969, when the calendar was reformed they moved her to December 12th, closest to the 13th but not on the 13th because that is St. Lucy's day.<br /><br />Wiki says:<br />Her December 12 celebration became superseded in a large part of the world by the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, whom Pope John Paul II's on 25 March 1999 declared Patroness of the Americas. In 2001, when the celebration of Our Lady of Guadalupe was made an optional memorial in every country, that of Saint Jane Frances was transferred to 12 August. In some American countries which already had a feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Saint Jane Frances was already celebrated on dates other than 12 December . In the case of the United States, this date was 18 August.<br /><br />So basically, since her feast day was December 12th and the US had already long established the celebration of Our Lady of Guadalupe on Dec. 12th, she got moved and in the US, they decided on August 18th and didn't change that once her feast day was officially moved to the 12th. <br /><br />Clear as mud, right?Charlotte (WaltzingM)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12690056082240865041noreply@blogger.com
