Lent with St. Clare: First Thursday of Lent

"'Let the love you have in your hearts be shown outwardly in your deeds.' -The Testament of St. Clare

"Since St. Clare of Assisi and her sisters never left the convent of San Damiano, it seems this directive could be challenging. Yet Clare still showed her love outwardly through her letters and through service to her sisters. Her life is a perfect example that acts of love don't have to be grand and flashy. Sometimes the best way to show our love is through simple, small acts that show how we feel."

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