Minute Meditations

As Clare had labored over the years in doing the fine handwork that helped support the monastery, she now set herself the task of a written text.

Give thanks to the Lord always, and your life will be a song.

Our lives are a forgetting and a remembering. A rhythm that follows us relentlessly till death.

Unselfish love and transformation into Christ are both the motivation for and the purpose of vows.

Clare's bereavement could hardly be equaled since for her, as for her sisters, Francis was “after God, her only consolation.”

Clare was a guide for all who would follow Francis after his death.
