Sorry not that devout. But this does lead me to history. I'll look it up.

How's every little thing? I sent prayers in the air for your joy level this morning. Now, the bleak news, I'm totally ignorant about St. Claire but learning about something that matters to you means something to me. I'm writing the name down to goggle. Poetry hugs ... CayCay

I am not familiar with the Saints of the Catholic faith, but I am sure she was an outstanding person. Thanks for sharing with us about her and her character. Sara K

Francis of Assisi is one of my favorite saints. St Clare, being his ardent follower must be having the qualities of St. Francis. Everyday in our night prayer, we have included his prayer...'Where there is doubt, let me bring faith. Where there is despair, let me bring hope...'
