Reflection

“We become what we love and who we love shapes what we become.” –St. Clare of Assisi

Prayer

Loving God,

Today we give thanks for the life and witness of St. Clare of Assisi, who blazed a new trail for women to live in community, devoting their lives to prayer and communion with you. Inspired by Clare’s example and the sisters who followed her, lead us into new experiences of community in our own ways today. May we always be mindful of Clare’s wisdom about the transformative power of love. “We become what we love and who we love shapes what we become.” Amen.

Call to Action

Take five minutes today to reflect on the how I am becoming what I love.
