Poor Clare Colettine Nuns

St. Clare of Assisi, pray for us!

  • ​The form of life of the Poor Sisters that Blessed Francis established is this:
    to observe the Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, by living in obedience,
    without anything of one's own, and in chastity.

    The Holy Rule

  • Our labor here is brief, but the reward is eternal.
    Do not be disturbed by the clamor of the world, which passes like a shadow.
    Do not let false delights of a deceptive world deceive you.

    St. Clare of Assisi

  • Gaze upon Him, consider Him, contemplate Him,
    as you desire to imitate Him.

    St. Clare of Assisi
