About this book
“It is my hope that this study will engage the sisters who are now the ones handing on the legacy.” — Sr. Margaret Carney, OSF
Sr. Diana Papa, OSC, and her sisters set out together on a committed search for their Clarian identity. Their study walks through the Rule of St. Clare chapter by chapter, setting each beside the General Constitutions and drawing out what the form of life of the Poor Sisters means for women living it today.
“A journey of verifying and a task of fidelity to Clare and to the church.” — Br. Giacomo Bini, OFM
Translated from the Italian (Le Sorelle povere di santa Chiara) by Sr. Frances Teresa Downing, OSC, with forewords by Sr. Margaret Carney, OSF, and Br. Giacomo Bini, OFM.
