"St. Claire, Virgin and First Abbess of the Poor Clares -- Feast, August 12"
(At the bottom:)
"Assisi Is Miraculously Rescued. As the saint raised the Sun of justice above the walls that the enemies were already attacking, it seemed that a lightning bolt suddenly resounded. They were all turned over, knocked down, and blinded."
My 18 year old daughter is called Claire!
ReplyDeleteToday is also the feastday of Saint Susanne of Rome and Saint Philomena, virgins and martyrs.

"St. Claire, Virgin and First Abbess of the Poor Clares -- Feast, August 12"

"Assisi Is Miraculously Rescued. As the saint raised the Sun of justice above the walls that the enemies were already attacking, it seemed that a lightning bolt suddenly resounded. They were all turned over, knocked down, and blinded."

Hi Micki,
ReplyDeleteI'll continue posting anonymous until I regularly view your site like I want. Also, http://saints.sqpn.com provided good information on each saint's life. Bless you for this holy source of inspiration.

P.S. Thanks to everyone who earlier welcomed me back to the Church :)
My three year old daughter is named Claire. Happy Feast Day to all the Claires (and Clares) out there!
ReplyDeleteAlso, Tom, I just saw your note about coming back to the Church. Welcome home! You are in my prayers.
God bless,
Stephanie

PS.....yup, spelling error. To Stephanie, chose is what I meant to spell.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I chose Claire because, aside from the fact that it was the ONLY girl's name we could agree on, I really love St.
ReplyDeleteClare. We live in a diocese where the Poor Clares have a monastery. Before meeting my husband, I had visited them thinking that may be my vocation. Turns out, God had other plans for me. I am happy and thankful to have named my first daughter after such an incredible Saint. Thanks for asking.
God bless,
Stephanie
