"When you are at spiritual war, when you’re fighting the fight and you’re not giving in to sin and selfishness, you will have peace."
Five pieces of advice and a goal, that is, to have a free heart in order to do God’s will.
For a young person:
Sr. Clare's reason for writing this was to help a young person fight against all of the things that were impeding her from advancing in her spiritual life.
Suzy Donovan: Your constant worries about what people will think about you is paralyzing you.
"Mary Magdalene was a prostitute. By letting herself be loved and purified by Jesus she is known today as: Saint Mary Magdalene – Virgin of the Church."
"Anything I’ve ever asked of you was for your own good".
"What is your biggest fear? What makes you sad? What makes you happy?"
In these outlines, Sr. Clare has unintentionally left us her personal path to growth in virtue and her own battle against mediocrity.
Before I did everything for selfish reasons, for my own pleasure – I lived for myself. That’s just stupid. God created us for much more.
The battle begins…..it starts right now. Who will win? Charity or envy?
These may seem like little things, but sometimes they can be very hard to do. But have courage! God, seeing your good intention, is going to help you out.
Karolina Vera: A letter Sr. Clare gave me on Saturday, April 9, 2016, just one week before the earthquake.
On opening the Bible randomly twice today, these were the two passages that I found. Just causality or is God speaking?
While in the United States, Sr. Clare prepared this short text about the virtue of patience and its contrary vice to help the monitors to explain the topic to their team of girls at the HM Summer Camp. She gives some concrete examples of how to fight for this virtue of patience, in the context of a summer camp.
