Once I was a clever boy learning the arts of Oxford... is a quotation from the verses written by Bishop Richard Fleming (c.1385-1431) for his tomb in Lincoln Cathedral. Fleming, the founder of Lincoln College in Oxford, is the subject of my research for a D. Phil., and, like me, a son of the West Riding. I have remarked in the past that I have a deeply meaningful on-going relationship with a dead fifteenth century bishop... it was Fleming who, in effect, enabled me to come to Oxford and to learn its arts, and for that I am immensely grateful.

St Louis of Toulouse


The New Liturgical Movement has a good post today about the life and ministry of the devout Capetian-Angevin prince who renounced the throne of Naples to became a Franciscan, an Archbishop and finally a Saint at the turn of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, St Louis of Toulouse.

The illustrated NLM article can be viewed at The Feast of St Louis of Toulouse

St Louis of Toulouse Pray for us
