Francis became a priest, to the dismay of his family who wanted him to carry on the family line and power of lawyers and politicians. He started to believe in predestination which made him sick with fear. While attending church one day, he overcame his fear and accepted that what God had planned for him was best, so he dedicated the rest of his life to God. His calm and gentle way won over his family, and many others. He was a writer, preacher, priest and Bishop, who would even use sign language to help get his message to the deaf. He helped to create the Order of the Visitation with Saint Jeanne de Chantal.
