(icon of St. Clare in friary chapel for March 18, 2012)
March 18, 1212 is believed to be Palm Sunday and the day when St. Clare left her family to join St. Francis and the early brothers in their new way of life. March 18, 2012 was celebrated across the world as the 800th anniversary of the religious consecration of St. Clare and the beginning of the Poor Clares.
Here at our Prayer Fraternity, we celebrated with the Poor Clares with a special Vespers Service marking this great moment in time. Our congratulations to all of our Franciscan Poor Clare sisters as they celebrate their 800th Jubilee. May you have 800 more glorious and prayer-filled and prosperous years as a religious congregation of women. Our Church, our Franciscan family, and our world is richly blessed by all you are and all that you bring through your lives and example.
