“Praise the Lord, Jerusalem.” #Psalm147 https:// #Catholic #OrdinaryTime #DailyMass #StClare bible.usccb.org/bible/readin...

"What you hold, may you always hold.
What you do, may you always do and never abandon.
But with swift pace, light step, unswerving feet,
so that even your steps stir up no dust,
may you go forward securely, joyfully, swiftly...."
#StClare

Peace and All good.

"If you closed yourself up and feared your senses, then contemplation was impossible. She loved to sit in her garden and experience the fullness of creation through sight and sound and touch and smell, and even the taste of the breeze..." #StClare (M.Bodo)

Fresco showing a large congregation of women praying. The grouping suggests that there may be more behind the 18 that are partially visible. All wear brown habits, with rope girdles, and blue/grey veils which cover the hair but not the face. St Clare, on the right, is depicted at larger scale, with a halo, gazing into the distance. Her right hand is elevated as in prayer; her left hand is crossed over to point at the followers behind.

Aristocratic ladies were important #14thCentury patrons of English communities of the Order of St Clare, the Franciscan nuns also known as the Minoresses or Poor Clares.
