St. Isabel of France was the sister of St. Louis. She was also the daughter of King Louis VIII of France. Isabel had concentrated her life to God and so when she received proposals for marriage from several noble men she refused them all on account to keep her promise to God. She took care of the sick and the poor and when her mother died she founded the Franciscan Monastery of the Humility of Mother Mary. She lived there in austerity but she never became a nun and died there in the monastery.
St. Isabel of France please pray for us to keep our promises to God.
