Santa Chiara d'Assisi Davanti a San Damiano... Dipinto di Dino Carbetta
“Santa Chiara d'Assisi In front of San Damiano ... Painting by Dino Carbetta” …
In history's tapestry, Clare of Assisi shines, woven with devotion and courage. An Italian luminary, she danced with Francis of Assisi, etching sanctity. A beacon of feminine spirituality, she unfurled the Order of Poor Clares, a sanctuary in the Franciscan tradition. At eighteen, beneath Lenten skies, Clare's heart was ignited by Francis' words. Swift as moonlight, she met him at the altar. In the night, she shed her locks and worldly trappings, adorned with Francis' tunic – her emblem of consecration. With courage, Clare embraced Assisi's San Damiano sanctuary. Her days, were an eloquent symphony of service, tending the ailing and washing beguiling nuns' feet. Her visage, radiant as dawn, bore witness to her communion with the divine. Amidst turmoil, a prayerful fortress arose. The Blessed Sacrament adorned walls, a plea against marauding Saracens. "O God, do these defenseless hearts find solace?" Her words echoed with faith, sisters found solace in her whispered exhortations: "Fear not. Trust Jesus." Saracens fled before her resolute faith. Clare transcended grace in her passing. Beside her, a brother heard her final refrain: "In my tapestry, pain found no dwelling, His light illuminated my steps." This legacy ignited a spark within me, brush to canvas, spirit to flight, honoring Clare's devotion.
