Sister Moon to Francis’ Brother Sun
“Always be lovers of God and your souls and the souls of your Sisters, and always be eager to observe what you have promised to the Lord.”
Pope Benedict XVI “Take courage!
Fix your gaze on our saints.”
Taped in Assisi
Sister Moon to Francis’ Brother Sun
Great Mystic – Role Model – Incorrupt
St. Clare was truly St. Francis’ partner in Christ. She was the first female member of the Franciscan community. She fought against the whole Franciscan community, including popes, to maintain the original Rule of St. Francis. After his death, she spent the rest of her life caring for her ladies. She would not even die before her rule for the Poor Clares was approved by the Pope.
Clare is a role model for all women in headship, not exclusively of the Church, but especially of the Church. She may very well have been placed on this earth to be a prototype for Superiors of Religious Communities, male and female, for centuries to come. Clare could easily be the standard bearer for anyone who would lead a community of people, whether it be a Religious Community, as Superior, or a country, as President, Dictator, or King. And her philosophy was not new, or complicated. It was simple. “Love one another as I have loved you.”
See how she vanquished the Saracens with a Miracle of the Eucharist.
See her Convent of San Damiano in Assisi. Visit the balcony where St. Francis stayed prior to his death. See her cell, and the place where she gave up her soul to the Lord.
Visit her Church in Assisi and her incorrupt body.
See where she bi-located to Bethlehem Pray before the original Cross of San Damiano which spoke to St. Francis and told him to “Rebuild My Church.”
