About this book
“The Lord has called us to this greatness: that those who are to be effective mirrors and examples for others should see themselves mirrored in us.” — Testament of Clare
The central image of This Living Mirror is Clare of Assisi’s journey to God, which begins with her flight from her family home and her consecration by St. Francis. Clare, says Sister Frances Teresa, is given to us as a compass, pointing always to God, from the known to the unknown, from brokenness to the One, from loneliness to community.
Clare met the violent hostility of her family, the pain of losing Francis, continual ill health and constant pressure to abandon God’s call. In all of it she remains a noble example of how to live the pain of our human condition in peace, and even, on a good day, in joy.
