Saints Day

"Traditional Catholic Church"

Today the Traditional Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of, Saint Clare, Virgin. She was born at Assisi in Umbria, she was the first of the Holy virgins whom Saint Francis, consecrating to God, bound to Christlike poverty. On a visit to Saint Francis, she expressed to him her desire to be a Spouse of Christ. To Saint Francis had been given a little chapel called the Portiuncula by the Benedictine abbot of Monte Subasio. Saint Francis has given to Saint Clare the rule of Saint Benedict to follow, as he desired to graft his new foundation on to the old Order, so as to give it a canonical basis, one already recognized by Holy Church. Saint Francis determined that Saint Clare should not imitate the rich convents of the Benedictines then in Umbria, but should go back to the early traditions of Benedictine poverty; thus it was that Pope Gregory IX was able to write to them before they had a rule of their own: "Now you are worthy daughters of the blessed Benedict." Her sister Agnes and other women soon joined her; they walked barefooted, slept on the ground, observed perpetual abstinence, and made poverty the basis of their lives. Saint Clare renounced all her worldly goods, in spite of the opposition of her family; she received the penitential habit from the hands of Saint Francis of Assisi, and founded the Second Franciscan Order the "Poor Clare's".
Saint Clare's way of life, teaches us to have a great devotion to the Holy Eucharist. In the midst of her poverty she caused the Blessed Sacrament to be kept in a silver case placed in an ivory pyx. One day when the Sarcens attacked the Convent of San Damiano, Saint Clare herself held up the pyx containing the Blessed Sacrament like a shield between the nuns and the fury of the infidels. The enemy turned and fled. Saint Clare faithfully pasted away, August 11, in the year 1253. She was canonized by Pope Alexander IV, two years later.
