St. Clare of Assisi
"Clare,
shines brilliantly:
brilliant by her bright merits,
by the brightness of her great glory in heaven,
by the brilliance of her
sublime miracles on earth.
Clare,
her strict and lofty way of religious life
radiates here on earth,
while the magnitude of her eternal rewards
glows from above
and her virtue begins to dawn
upon all mortal beings
with magnificent signs." |

These
words, written by Pope Alexander IV in the Bull of Canonization of St. Clare of August 15,
1255, just two years after her death, are an eloquent and poetic play on the name, Clare,
which means light. To learn more about this brilliant saint, click on the following:
