St. Clare's Original Habit and MantleSince the great and good Lord, on entering the Virgin's womb, chose to look despised, needy, and poor in this world, so that people in dire poverty and deprivation and in absolute need of heavenly nourishment might become rich in him by possessing the kingdom of heaven, then you who have chosen poverty should rejoice and be glad!

This is a wonderful site. St. Clare is my patron saint, and unfortunately I have neglected her in this role, for far too long. This post has touched my heart. Thank you for sharing this.
