Lent with St. Clare: Second Thursday of Lent

"'Blessed be you, my God, for having created me.' - St. Clare

"It has been said that St. Clare of Assisi spoke these words just before her death. It is a simple prayer of thanksgiving, yet it speaks to the power of God's vision for us. Each of us has been created for a different purpose. Clare's path was different from each of ours, yet in many ways it is the same. We're all blessed to have been created. What will we do with that blessing? We know what St. Clare did with hers; now it is up to us to discern where our blessing is leading us."
