Lent with St. Clare: Holy Thursday

"As the ultimate act of humility and service, Clare would often wash her sister's feet. There is a story that recalls a time when as Clare was bending to kiss a sister's foot, the sister pulled her foot away out of humility and accidentally kicked St. Clare in the mouth. Rather than react, St. Clare simply pulled the foot close to her again, and kissed it.

"In such an act of humility, St. Clare mirrored that of Christ as he washed and kissed the feet of the disciples at the Last Supper."
