Today we remember Louis, King of France, 1270

                                        Antiphon on Psalm 5 

I make my morning prayer 

to you; 

for you, 

Lord, 

will hear 

my voice. 

Louise IX, King of France, 1214-1270

is the patron saint 

of the Third  Order 

of Franciscans“because 

of his determined effort to live a personal life of Franciscan poverty & self-denial in the midst 

of worldly power and splendor.  (Holy Women...)
