About this book
“A most welcome addition to the field of Clarian literature!” — André Cirino, OFM
Jean-François Godet-Calogeras, an eminent Franciscan philologist, reads the writings of St. Clare word by word and finds in them the complementarity of the masculine and the feminine: strength alongside tenderness, the nourishment of body, heart and spirit.
He looks at the women in Clare’s writings, from Agnes of Prague and Rachel to Mary, the Mother of Jesus, and at the men, Jesus, Francis and Brother Elias, and at how Clare speaks of God.
A short, creative and refreshing book that shows the humanity of the Lady Clare and fills in the gaps often left by academic studies of the first Franciscan woman.
