St. Clare:
Clare, the founder of
2nd order of St. Francis. Feast day 11th August. She was born into a
wealthy family in 1194. Her father wanted her to marry into a wealthy family at
the age of 15 but she refused to cooperate with his plan. At 18, she escaped
from her parental home and formed the fledgling group of Franciscans where she
had her hair cut off as a sign of her commitment to the Franciscans order. Her
father and brothers stormed the convent but she refused to leave and she clung
to the altar. Sixteen days later her sister Agnes joined her in the convent as
did many of her friends and they lived a life of complete seclusion. However
she spent the last 27 years of her life in serious illness.

And be glad in
it, and be glad in it.
Offertory:
Be still for the presence of the Lord. Be still for the glory of the Lord
The Holy One is here. Is shining all
around.
Come bow before Him now He burns with holy fire.
With reverence and fear. With
splendor he is crowned.
In him no sin is found. How awesome is the
sight.
We stand on holy ground. Our radiant King of
light.
Be still for the presence of the Lord Be still the glory of the Lord
The Holy one is here Is shining all
around..
Communion
Lay
your hands gently upon us, You were sent to free the broken hearted.
Let
their touch render your peace, You
were sent to give sight to the blind.
Let
them bring your forgiveness and You
desire to heal all our illness.

As I kneel before you, Ave Maria. All I
have I give you,
As I bow my head in prayer, Gratia plena, Every dream
and wish are yours,
Take this day, make it yours Dominus tecum. Mother of Christ, Mother of mine,
and fill me with your love. Benedicta tu. Present
them to my Lord.
