The feast day of St. Clare is almost here!
| | | | | | St. Clare of Assisi “The unnerving quality of poverty makes St. Clare’s emphasis on poverty difficult to grasp. Her desire to be poor, however, was not a glorification of human deprivation or neglect, but her desire for God.” - Ilia Delio, Radical Saint, Radical Faith: Clare of Assisi Dear John, The feast day of St. Clare is almost upon us! As a gift from Franciscan Media, we wanted to provide you with resources to immerse yourself in the life and beautiful radicalism of St. Clare. Clare was only 18 when she committed herself to God in the Franciscan spirit, a move that changed her life—and the lives of countless Franciscans—forever. Follow in her footsteps these next three days to learn more about her life and mission. If you enjoy these pieces, please consider making a small recurring donation so that we can continue the mission of Sts. Clare and Francis to bring messages of peace and love to a troubled world. Thank you for your generosity, and we hope these pieces inspire you! Thank you and God bless, Margie Powell Annual Giving Manager |
