Quote/s of the Day – 11 August – The Memorial of St Clare of Assisi (1194-1253)
“Our labour here is brief
but the reward is eternal.
Do not be disturbed
by the clamour of the world,
which passes like a shadow.
Do not let false delights
of a deceptive world deceive you.”
“Love God, serve God,
everything is in that.”
“Totally love Him,
who gave Himself totally,
for your love.”
“Love that cannot suffer
is not worthy of that name.”
“Happy the soul to whom it is given
to attain this life with Christ …
For He is the Brightness of eternal glory,
the Splendour of eternal light,
the Mirror without spot.”
“O blessed poverty,
who bestows eternal riches
on those who love and embrace her!”
“Never forget that the way
which leads to heaven is narrow;
that the gate leading to life is narrow and low;
that there are but few who find it and enter by it
and, if there be some who go in
and tread the narrow path for some time,
there are but very few who persevere therein.”
AnaStpaul 
Saint Clare seems to be slighted by her relationship with St Francis. Did they love one another most definitely,with a love of the highest order – a chaste love. She is a true Hero and I always pay her homage for all she did.
