This is the fountain outside of St. Clare’s Basilica in Assisi. I look back on this feast day to a saint who I have prayed to often this past year. She was quite remarkable and I suspect I still have much to learn from her. Her poverty is a model of sorts as I let go of so much still. Today’s first infusion of chemotherapy went well but I am tired and so off to bed early.

St. Clare, pray for us!

Reflection Questions:

What saint brings you insights on your faith journey?
What riches do you need to let go of?

Prayer

Teach us, O Lord,
through the example of
St. Clare how better to love you
completely and without limit.

Amen.
