Lent and Easter Wisdom From St. Francis and St. Clare of Assisi

by John Kruse

Although they lived nearly 800 years ago, Saint Francis and Saint Clare of Assisi serve as excellent guides for the modern Lenten journey. Saint Francis and Saint Clare of Assisi abandoned their comfortable lifestyles and embraced lives of poverty, humility, and penance to better follow the call to Christian discipleship. Both saints underwent powerful conversion experiences in their lives. In the course of their conversions, they ignited a movement that reformed the medieval Church and that continues to influence and inspire millions of Christians to this day.

Good Lenten devotional for busy parents and others with short but powerful meditations and quotes from Francis and Clare. Each includes suggestions about putting faith into action. A few made me think about my Catholic faith differently. I'll look for others in this series for future Lents.
