Saint Clare of Montefalco digital print 8 by 10 inch Digital Print on 100 pound glossy card stockSuitable for framing see image Saint Clare of Montefalco “If you seek the Cross of Christ, take my heart; there you will find the Suffering Lord.” The above statement was made by Saint Clare of Montefalco, Augustinian Nun, or as she is known in her native Italy, Santa Chiara de Montefalco. They were the parting words of a Mother to her Community of Nuns, and also a clue from Heaven, which would lead them to investigate the heart of the Saint after her death. More importantly, these words were to be hope in, and understanding of, the crosses we are called to carry in our own lives. Jesus could bear the Cross because He knew and believed in the Love of the Father and His Promise of the Ressurection. Clare adored and carried the Cross of Jesus, confident that she could trust in Him and His Promise to her. I pray our beloved St. Clare will be for you what she has been for us, truth in a world that encourages lies, hope in a world that promotes hopelessness. Jesus said to Clare, “Yes, Clare, here I have found a place for My Cross, at last, someone I could trust with My Cross,” and He thrust it in her heart.
