August 25th- St. Louis IX, King, Patron of the Secular Franciscan Order

August 25th is the day when we of the Secular Franciscan Order (the Third Order), give honour to St. Louis IX, our patron.

Louis was crowned king when he was only 12 years old. His mother, however, was entrusted with the actual government of the kingdom during his minority. Meanwhile, Louis was being educated in all the duties of a Christian prince. Among his instructors there were several Franciscan friars, and later on the young king himself joined the Third Order of St. Francis.

You can read more about St. Louis IX in this article from the Franciscan Book of Saints: http://franciscan-sfo.org/sts/S0825loui.htm
