8 May Optional Memorial
Born in Erice (Trapani) in the mid-15th century (probably 1443), he entered the Order of Carmel at an early age.
He was prior of the reformed convent of Randazzo, where he died in 1490 (perhaps on May 8). He knew how to combine the duties of impeccable observance with those of love of neighbor imposed on him by his priestly ministry and enlightened charity. It is said that the cause of his death was a blow of "bolcione" or "bolzone": iconography often shows his death from an arrow. B Luigi, forgiving his attacker, did not want to reveal his name.
Popular worship began immediately, and two diocesan trials on the reputation for sanctity and miracles took place in the 16th century. The devotion was recognized by Gregory XVI in 1841.
