“The bell tower of Santa Chiara in Assisi rises high in the sky”…

After a progressive but slow assent up to the mountaintop of Assisi, I took time to pause, look over my shoulder, and truly appreciate all I had seen. God always seemed to illuminate my forward path; however, He also left a glow of remembrance from where the journey began. This evening view is of the campanile from the Basilica di Santa Chiara. This 13th-century church houses the relics of St. Clare, friend and protégé of St. Francis of Assisi, and the 12th-century crucifix that spoke to St. Francis at San Damiano. The churches, Basilicas, Duomos, and all the spiritual history of this tiny hilltop village, force one to realize the blessings of the Saints who traversed the same footsteps as we walk today. It is remarkable to imagine that seven Saints originated from Assisi over a 15 century period. What a great percentage of the blessed from such a small town! Assisi is perhaps one of the most visited pilgrimage areas in the world, and people from all races and religions come here to experience and find the peace which has blessed so many. They say that one can almost hear all the prayers lifted up from the walls of this most spiritual of places.
