Saint Francis de Sales
Saint Francis de Sales was born in 1567 and is the patron saint of writers.  He earned a doctorate in both canon and civil law from the University of Padua.  He was a priest and Bishop of Geneva.  His book, Introduction to a Devout Life (1609), addresses how ordinary life can be sanctified.  He was canonized by Pope Alexander VII.
