Ave Maria Meditations
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Dear Lord, we thank You for giving us St. Louis King of France as an example of holiness. Help us to imitate the devotion to You he showed from the time of his upbringing. St. Louis King of France, your father died when you were only twelve years old. But your holy mother ensured that you were brought up in the Faith and helped you begin on the path of serving God.
Please bring my petitions before God Whom you served!
As you grew to maturity, your Faith and holiness matured as well. You did all you could serve God through your office as King and to lead others to holiness. Pray for me, that I may do all I can to serve God worthily in my life. Pray that I may be as devoted a servant of God as you were.
Please also pray for (mention your intentions here). St. Louis King of France, pray for us!
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
(August 25th is the Feast of St. Louis, Patron of the Franciscan Third Order)
