St. Louis IX - Letter to His Son: A King-Saint's Fatherly Advice

<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Therefore, dear son, the first thing I advise is that you fix your whole heart upon God, and love Him with all your strength, for without this no one can be saved or be of any worth.”</span></em></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">St. Louis IX became the King of France at the age of twelve. A kind husband, a father of eleven children, and at the same time a strict ascetic, Louis’ conduct as king was that of a real saint.</span> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">St. Louis' letter of advice to his eldest son, the later Philip III, reflects not only his saintly piety, but also his high ideal of kingship, and illustrates how a saint might act on the throne of France.</span></p> <p><strong>Links</strong></p> <p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Letter of St. Louis IX to His Son</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Full Text</span>: <a href= "http://www.christendomrestoration.org/uploads/9/0/2/6/9026344/letter-of-st-louis-ix-to-his-son.pdf" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">http://www.christendomrestoration.org/uploads/9/0/2/6/9026344/letter-of-st-louis-ix-to-his-son.pdf</a></p> <p>Follow this link to join the Online Great Books VIP waiting list and get 25% off your first 3 months: <a href= "https://hj424.isrefer.com/go/ogbmemberships/tmirus/" target= "_blank" rel= "noopener">https://hj424.isrefer.com/go/ogbmemberships/tmirus/</a></p> <p>Go to <a href="http://www.catholicculture.org/getaudio" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">http://www.catholicculture.org/getaudio</a> to register for FREE access to the full archive of audiobooks beyond the most recent 15 episodes.</p> <p>Donate at: <a href= "http://www.catholicculture.org/donate/audio" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">http://www.catholicculture.org/donate/audio</a></p> <p>Theme music: 2 Part Invention, composed by Mark Christopher Brandt, performed by Thomas Mirus. ©️2019 Heart of the Lion Publishing Co./BMI.
