AUGUST 11 | Memorial of Saint Clare, Virgin
"We become what we love, and who we love shapes what we become."
St. Clare of Assisi left behind a life of wealth and comfort to follow Christ in poverty, simplicity, and complete trust in God. Inspired by the example of St. Francis of Assisi, she founded the Order of Poor Ladies, now known as the Poor Clares, dedicating her life to prayer, contemplation, and joyful service. Through her deep love for the Eucharist and unwavering faith, she became a shining witness that true riches are found in Christ alone.
Her life reminds us that holiness is found not in worldly success, but in loving God wholeheartedly and reflecting His light to others through humility, prayer, and charity.
St. Clare, pray for us.
