Dear John,

Happy feast of St. Clare! Celebrating the Church calendar is a great opportunity to seek the wisdom of the saints. Today, we have an invitation to ask for the intercession of St. Clare and open ourselves up to what she has to teach us about the Gospel.

In the video linked here and in the image below, Franciscan sister and author Margaret Carney offers a reflection on the everyday, accessible qualities of Clare of Assisi—and why they give us great hope for our own spiritual growth. Sister Margaret is the author of Light of Assisi, one of the many Franciscan Media books that your generous donations help to publish.

If you feel led to support more Franciscan authors in their callings, you can make a donation by clicking the button at the bottom of this email or simply clicking here. As always, we are extremely grateful for your support of our ministry.

Peace and All Good,

Margie Powell
