Lesson iii

St. Remigius baptizes King Clovis

Remígius, epíscopus Rheménsis, flóruit Clodovéo rege Francórum ; quem étiam baptizávit, et, primus ómnium, doctrína et miráculis Francos ad Christi Dómini fidem perdúxit.  Ejus oratióne, mórtua puélla revíxit.  Multos interpretátus est divínæ Scriptúræ libros.  Amplius septuagínta annos summa cum laude Rheménsem ecclésiam administrávit.  Cujus vita et mortis sanctitátem multa, quæ consecúta sunt, mirácula comprobárunt.

Remigius, Archbishop of Rheims, flourished in the time of Clovis, King of the Franks, whom he baptized, and was the first who, by his preaching and miracles, brought the Franks to believe in the Lord Christ.  At his prayers, a dead maiden was raised to life.  He expounded many books of the Holy Scriptures.  He ministered to the Church of Rheims with the utmost acceptance for above three score and ten years, and the holiness of his life and death were witnessed by many signs and wonders which befell afterward.
