Saint Clare of Assisi - Patron of Television

Clare of Assisi knew the reaction she would get from her relatives every time she mentioned Francis’ name, but she couldn’t help it.

She found him so fascinating!

What he had done, and what he was preaching was so contrary to anything she had ever heard before.

Clare had known him over the years. She most likely bumped into him from time to time, lowering her eyes as he passed by. She may have witnessed the public trial Francis’ father had subjected him to, when Francis took off all his clothes, gave them to his father, and proclaimed from that time, God was his father.

Clare had never spoken to Francis. She had to meet him!

One day, she chose to go out walking on the very road she knew he would be taking.

They met. Francis had known of her since she was a child. Hers was one of the few noble families living in Assisi. Francis could see in Clare of Assisi that very special quality that Jesus would use some day.

When their eyes met, the heavens opened up and the Holy Spirit entered into them. They could not break the fixed look. They gazed into each other’s souls. Finally, Francis spoke to Clare. "You will have to know how to die."
