O God, who increase Thy
Church with the merits of blessed Francis by the heavenly birth of
this Thy newborn: grant unto us, that through imitating him we may
dispise earthly goods and always rejoice in the participation in Thy
heavenly gifts. We ask this through Our Lord Jesus Christ, who with
the Father and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns God forever and
ever. Amen. |
 |
God of mercy, You inspired Saint Clare with the
love of poverty. By the help of her prayers may we follow Christ in
poverty of spirit and come to the joyful vision of Your glory in the
Kingdom of heaven. We ask this through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Your
Son, Who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God,
forever and ever. Amen.
|
O Lord Jesus Christ, who, when the world was
growing cold, did renew in the flesh of the most
blessed Francis the sacred stigmata of Thy
Passion, in order to inflame our hearts with the
fire of Thy love, graciously grant unto us, that
yoked to his merits and prayers we may bear the
Cross, and bring forth fruits worthy of penance:
You who live and reign with the Father and the
Holy Spirit, God forever and ever. Amen.

O glorious Saint
Clare!
God has given you the power of
working miracles continually, and the favour of
answering the prayers of those who invoke your
assistance in misfortune, anxiety and distress.
We beseech you, obtain for us from Jesus,
through Mary, His Blessed Mother, what we beg of you
so fervently and hopefully, if it be for the greater
honour and glory of God and for the good of our
souls. Amen. |

O Blessed Saint
Clare,
your life shines like a beacon and
cast its light down the ages of the Church to guide
the way of Christ. Look with compassion on the poor
and humble who call on you for help. As you bow
before your Eucharistic Lord in Heaven, speak to Him
of my afflicted body and my broken spirit. Ask Him
to heal me and to wash away my sins in His precious
Blood.
Great Servant of Christ, remember the needs of my
family and all those I pray for. Defend us from
everything that would threaten our Holy Catholic
faith. Hear the cry of the poor and make it a song
of intercession, rising from your poor heart to the
Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, our Healer, our Saviour,
and our Lord. Amen |
