St. Clare Prayer Card

St. Clare of Assisi was a medieval Italian saint and a close companion of St. Francis of Assisi. Born into a wealthy family in 1194, she was deeply influenced by Francis' teachings and chose to dedicate her life to poverty, prayer, and service to God. At a young age, she left her affluent lifestyle behind and, inspired by Francis' ideals, founded the Order of Poor Ladies, commonly known as the Poor Clares. The order followed the principles of St. Francis, emphasizing a life of poverty, simplicity, and devotion to prayer.

St. Clare is remembered for her devotion to a life of humility and her commitment to caring for the poor and sick. She led her order for over 40 years, setting an example of selflessness, dedication, and unwavering faith. Her influence and legacy continue through the Poor Clares, who maintain their commitment to a life of simplicity, prayer, and service to the marginalized in society. St. Clare is revered in the Catholic Church as the patron saint of television, eye disorders, and goldsmiths, and her feast day is celebrated on August 11th.
