About this book
“Clare comes alive in new ways.” — Joanne Schatzlein, OSF
What did Clare set out to do and to be when she left home? Starting from the few autobiographical sentences in her Form of Life, Sister Frances Teresa Downing follows the growth of the Poor Clare charism: the first twenty-four hours of Clare’s vocation, the Porziuncola, San Paolo and Sant’Angelo, the arrival at San Damiano, the changes of 1216 and the spread of the Order up to Clare’s death in 1253.
Part Two explores aspects of the charism: Clare and the Sacrum Commercium, Clare and the Church, Clare the pilgrim, Clare’s dream, minority and hilaritas, blindness and light, and prayer and contemplation.
Written for Poor Clare communities looking again to their beginnings, and for everyone who wants to meet Clare as she was.
