About this book
“Thus, the merciful God raised up the venerable virgin Clare and lit the brightest light within her for women to see.”
Brother Thomas of Celano, the first biographer of St. Francis, wrote this life of St. Clare at the request of Pope Alexander IV soon after her canonization in 1255. He tells of her birth and her life in her father’s house, her friendship with Francis, her flight to religious life and her family’s assault, her humility and poverty, her miracles and her holy death.
Translated from the Italian by Catherine Bolton Magrini. First published in Assisi by Editrice Minerva.
