Saint Clare
Franciscan (
1253 Anno Domini A.D.) Feast: 11 Aug
Sometimes we call her St. Clare. Sometimes, St. Clara or St. Claire. Her mother & father were very rich 
She lived in a beautiful Italian palace. But she listened to a man named St. Francis of Assisi . He was very like Christ 
. He loved God 
He wanted to be poor. He hoped to save the world form sin. So, when her parents said she could not be a nun, Clare ran away

Clare cut her hair 
She put on old clothes with a rope for her belt. In a little hut 
she took her sister, then her mother & some friends. She began the sisters known as the Poor Clares. All day long these sisters pray for sinners 
They love God for those who do not love Him. They do penance so that men & women will not lose their souls.

Once the army of men who hated Christ 
came to Assisi . They meant to destroy the city 
St. Clare carried the Blessed Sacrament 
outside the convent 
Only her sisters were around her. But the great army saw her coming. They turned & fled in panic 
She saved the city.
