Lent with St. Clare: First Monday

"St. Clare's life was not easy. From the struggle to follow her religious vocation, to the physical suffering she experienced throughout her life, to the pope's ongoing resistance to approving her rule for the sisters, she continually pushed forward with strength. It would have been understandable if at any point she gave up the fight. Yet she persevered out of the love she had for Christ.

"What a powerful example of leaning into, rather than away from, one's faith for support during times of suffering"

Franciscan Media is offering a special Lenten series of meditations, "Lent with St. Clare." The mediation for the First Monday is as follows:
