Saint Clare of Assisi: A Contemplative And A Mystic

Photo of Father Murray Bodo, OFM, taken on Mount Subasio 
(just outside of Assisi, Italy)

"Saint Clare is a contemplative and a mystic. The way into her mystery is the way of mystical language, language like that of the Song of Songs. It is language that speaks of lover and beloved, bride and bridegroom. The way of the mystic is the way of poetry and metaphor and allegory..." ~ Father Murray Bodo, OFM
