Lent with St. Clare: Fifth Tuesday of Lent

"'You will give birth to a light that will shine brilliantly in the world.'  - Message Clare's mother, Ortalana, received while pregnant

" In the Acts of the Process of Canonization, it was noted that Clare told her sisters about her mother receiving this message while in church one day during her pregnancy. Could this have inspired Clare's name, which means 'bright,' or was it just a foretelling of this child's impact on the world? She certainly did become a light for society - both then and now - shining far and wide."
