Saint of the Day: St. Clare of Assisi

Today is the Feast Day of St.Clare of Assisi, the founder of the Poor Clare Nuns. From rich noblewoman to Bride of Christ, St. Clare's story is a good one. She was one of the first followers of St. Francis, inspired by his words she ran away from her family and devoted herself to God and a life of Poverty. 

“Totally love Him, Who gave Himself totally for your love.”

-St. Clare of Assisi

She Clare had a Huge devotion to the Blessed Sacrament, "Once the army of men who
hated Christ came to Assisi. They meant to destroy the city. St. Clare carried the Blessed Sacrament outside the convent. Only her sisters were around her. But the great army saw her coming. They turned and fled in panic." - Rev. Daniel A. Lord, S.J.

Now Let us Pray to this Powerful Saint:

Prayer to Saint Clare

God of mercy, You inspired Saint Clare with the love of poverty. By the help of her prayers may we follow Christ in poverty of spirit and come to the joyful vision of Your glory in the Kingdom of heaven. We ask this through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, Who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.

Amen.
