"The Franciscan story from Francis and Clare until now in the 21st century is filled with stories like those found in these pages, lovingly gathered: stories of women who have responded to God's call and entered the monastery of St. Clare of Assisi, the first woman Franciscan. Here are the stories of lives of diverse in age, experience, personality and background. And yet God's Providence has brought them together in monasteries across America and throughout the world. What is the core story that all their stories partake of? It is the story of Christ, surely, but more specifically it is the story of a way of extending Christ's story which St. Clare lived and handed down to her sisters." |
