Lent with St. Clare: Palm Sunday

"Palm Sunday marks a profound moment in Clare's life. It is on this day that, in the middle of the night and with the help of others, she left behind the life that she had known. Earlier that day, during Palm Sunday Mass, she found herself remaining seated when it was time to receive the palm.

"The bishop, noticing her sitting there, came down from the altar and placed the palm in her hand. Why she remained seated is known only to her. Perhaps she was focused on and anticipating her upcoming journey and entrance into a new life."

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