Lent with St. Clare: First Friday of Lent

"From a young age, St. Clare of Assisi was encouraged by the strong faith of her mother, Ortalana, to carry out God's work, even before she joined Francis and the brothers. Clare ministered and cared for the less fortunate when she wouldn't have been expected to do so. Being gifted with many goods due to her place in society, Clare realized she had more than enough. That embrace of simplicity perfectly aligned with the spirit of St. Francis, and she carried it with her when she went to San Damiano. Many of us are more than blessed with abundance. Are we willing to share it with others?"
