St. Clare, Virgin,
August 11
St. Clare was born at Assisi, Italy, in 1193. When she
was eighteen, St. Francis was preaching in Assisi and his words
greatly inspired her.
In 1212, on Palm Sunday, she ran away from
home and went to Portiuncula, where Francis Lived. He met her
at the Chapel of Our Lady of the Angels, cut off her hair, and
gave her a sackcloth held together by a cord.
She went to live in the Benedictine Convent
of St. Paul near Bastia. Her family greatly objected, but their
objections fell on deaf ears. In 1215, Clare, along with her
sister, mother and other companions, went to live in a convent.
Clare was appointed superior of the congregation
by St. Francis, and this is considered to be the origin of the
Poor Clares. They adopted a severe life of poverty, silence and
austerity.
Clare was superior of the order for over
forty years. She died at the convent of San Damiano in 1253.
Set your mind before the mirror
of eternity!
Your soul before the brightness
of glory!
Your heart before the divine presence,
and be
transformed totally into the image of God through
contemplation.
Then you too may feel what his
friends
fell as they taste the hidden sweetness God has kept
from the beginning for those who love him. |
