At Brignoles in Provence, France, the passing of Saint Louis, bishop, who, a grandson of King Saint Louis, desired to suffer evangelical poverty more than the praises and honors of the world; still young in age but mature in virtue, he was raised to the see of Toulouse, but soon, worn out by ill health, fell asleep in holiness.
August 19th
Saint Louis of Toulouse
Latin Original
Apud Brinólium in Provincia Gálliz, tránsitus sancti Ludovíci, epíscopi, qui, sancti Ludovíci regis nepos, plus evangélicam paupertátem appétiit pérpeti quam laudes et honóres mundi et, iávenis adhuc zetáte sed matürus virtüte, ad sedem Tolosánam evéctus est, mox vero infirma valetádine consámptus pie obdormívit.
