Paperback: The brief sketch of the life of St Clare is for those who desire a first meeting with her, and it is not narrated in scholarly language.
It is an account of pure historical truth, taken from unimpeachable documents which portray St Clare as she is, living and real for the twentieth century, a model for people today and not merely a personality relegated to a backdrop of medieval scenery.
For it is precisely the prerogative of the saints, as it is of artists of immortal masterpieces, to be alive in every age and always to speak the language of the present.
This fourth edition is printed in June 2011 by Edizioni Porziuncola and is translated from the Italian by Sister Jane Frances, PCC.
