“May Almighty God bless you. May God look upon you with eyes of mercy and give you peace. On earth may God pour forth graces on you abundantly. And in heaven… in heaven may God place you among the saints.” ~St. Clare of Assisi

God of mercy, you inspired Saint Clare with the love of poverty. By the help of her prayers may we follow Christ in poverty of spirit and come to the joyful vision of your glory in the kingdom of heaven. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen
