Discover the inspiring life and legacy of St. Louis IX, King of France, whose reign was marked by deep faith, justice, and service to God. Guided by his holy mother, Blanche of Castile, Louis became both a wise ruler and a humble servant of Christ. This reflection from The Liturgical Year explores his Christian leadership, his devotion to the poor, his role in the Crusades, and his final counsel to his son—urging love for God above all things.
St. Louis IX shows us how holiness and kingship can be united, reminding rulers and people alike that true power lies in serving Christ. His example continues to inspire Catholics today.
🙏 Learn about his faith, his reign, and his canonization as a saint who still intercedes for us in heaven.
