."We becomewhatwe love and who we love shapes what we become"-St. Clareof Assisi.
St. Clare of Assisi was one of the first followers and lifelong friend of the great St. Francis of Assisi, and became a great Saint in her own right! St. Clare was the founder of the first female order of Franciscans, the Poor Clares. Like the men, the women lived lives of radical gospel poverty. She was known for her deep prayer life and was consulted on spiritual matters by many- including cardinals, bishops and popes! St. Clare is depicted in art holding the Blessed Sacrament because she once held a monstrance containing the Eucharist out her monastery window to stop an invading army!
Teach your children what true wealth is!Introduce the story of St. Clare of Assisiusing the educational insert in the box.Encourage children to consider what it means to live relying on God alone. A person that has a relationship with Jesus is "rich". St. Francis and St. Clare lived lives of radical poverty in imitation of Christ- believing that God would provide them with all their needs. Do we fully trust God to provide for us, or is our hope placed elsewhere? St. Clare teaches us that when we are in trouble, or even just in a regular daily life, we should turn to Jesus for help. When faced with invaders Jesus told Clare to "trust him"- let us also teach our children to trust Him! St. Clare is a great saint to introduce and teach the concepts of gospel poverty, storing wealth in heaven vs. on earth, and trusting in God's providence.
