Clare of Assisi, friend and follower of St. Francis of Assisi. Founder and abbess of the Poor Clares under St. Francis' guidance.

She and her fellow nuns led a very austere life, true to the simple Fransciscan Gospel values of prayer, poverty and charity. For the second half of her life she also coped with serious ill health. Her advice and council was sought even by the Pope; because of her obvious humility and holiness she was declared saint within two years of her death.

Her deathbed words after 41 years of religious life at San Damiano are said to have been:

“Go forth in peace, for you have followed the good road. Go forth without fear, for he who created you has made you holy, has always protected you, and loves you as a mother. Blessed be you, my God, for having created me.”

Feast Day 16th November.
