Prayer to St. Clare

O Blessed Saint Clare, your life shines like a beacon and casts its light down the ages of the Church to guide the way to Christ. May we follow your example and place our feet in the footprints you have left us. May we be poor in spirit, humble of heart, and may we strive for that purity of heart which drew you close to the heart of our Lord. Help us to remember that we are but pilgrims here below, and inspire us to live lives of prayer, penance, and joyful service to others. Amen.
