"Clare's holiness began while she was still a child. She was known for her mercy for others, often wore a hairshirt under her fine clothes, and vowed celibacy at a young age. Those stirrings were fueled by her mother's staunch faith. During a war between Assisi and Perugia, she served others while her family was in exile in Perugia. It couldn't have been easy to seem so misaligned with the society into which she was born. Despite that, however, she was determined to stay true to her love of Christ."
