Feast of St Clare




St Clare, frightening away the Saracan mercenaries with her monstrance.

Ora pro nobis.

There is an accurate record kept by the Franciscans that says she did not actually leave the Monastery but went into the Chapel before Eucharist and prayed to the Holy Trinity!🙏 Her prayer has been documented also in writing preserved. It is written also that the Muslims (Saracens as they were called at that time), turned and withdrew, and declined from attacking them. They had not entered the premises of St Clare's Monastery.
