Shortly before Sr. Clare went to Playa Prieta, Sr. Estela Morales composed a poem about an experience she had in prayer. Each verse begins with a phrase directed to the Lord, who gives meaning to and sustains our entire existence: “And it’s because life is You.” After having read it, Sr. Clare transformed Sr. Estela’s prayer into a song, which we now share with you in a “home recording” from Christmas 2015, Sr. Clare’s last Christmas. In it, Sr. Clare herself sings – for the community and some young girls close to them – the song: “It’s Not Monotony” (“No es monotonía”). The following is a translation of the song sung in Spanish.

In her Letter to the Three Kings on January 6, 2016, Sr. Clare wrote: “There’s a song titled, ‘¿Qué quiero mi Jesús?’ [What Do I Want, My Jesus?]. I would like to live what the song says. Can you grant me this, or do I have to speak directly with Jesus Christ and His Mother?" These are the lyrics from that song. It is a poem by Pedro Calderón de la Barca, a Spanish priest and writer from the 17th century. May Our Lord grant us the grace to live what the lyrics of the song ask for.
