CLARE! Among the most important figures in developing the Franciscan charism was St. Clare of Assisi. Born to a noble family in 1194, Clare grew up with great wealth. At the age of 18, she heard St. Francis preaching during Lent and decided to leave her home for a life of poverty and prayer, just as the brothers lived. Her family did not approve, however, and so Clare escaped from her father’s home one night, was met on the road by friars carrying torches, and in the poor little chapel called the Portiuncula received a rough woolen habit in the poor little chapel called the Portinuncula. For the rest of her life, she lived very simply. Together with other companions, “The Poor Ladies,” as they were called, went barefoot, slept on the ground, ate no meat, and observed almost complete silence. She served the sick and washed the feet of the begging nuns. Although influenced early in her life by the Franciscans, she also contributed much of her own spirituality, and helped to shape the spiritual life of the brothers around her. In her letters, she is famous for developing a fourfold process of prayer: Gaze, Consider, Contemplate, & Imitate. RIVER CLEAN UP PROJECT A SUCCESS Thank you to everyone who donated or sorted hygiene supplies, prepared lunches or helped at the clean-up! Seminarians and our volunteers worked hard cleaning the river and distributing lunches and hygiene bags to the homeless along the river. All of the efforts were greatly appreciated.
