Sr. Clare Crockett: Alone with Christ Alone

by Kristen Gardner, Rafael Alonso Reymundo (Foreword)

The young Clare Crockett, who aspired to nothing less than Hollywood, left all her dreams aside on one Good Friday after an encounter with Christ Crucified. When she was seventeen years old, the Lord transformed her soul and she no longer desired to have anything other than the Love of Christ. The desire of her soul to belong to Christ alone –to live alone with Christ Alone– led her to consecrate her life in the Servant Sisters of the Home of the Mother and to give of herself with complete generosity. Her overwhelming joy led many souls, especially of young people, to discover true happiness that can be found in God alone. Her coherent lifestyle and her total surrender in the apostolic works that she carried out in Spain, the United States and Ecuador, made the message very clear to all that God alone can satisfy the human heart.On April 16, 2016, an earthquake in Ecuador caused the community’s house to collapse, which led Sr. Clare to her definitive encounter with Christ Alone.(Please note that this edition has the photos inside in black and white.)

Overall, a very well told account of the life of an inspiring person who is also very relatable.

If you have watched the biography, the first quarter of the book will be not too much new, but stick around! After that it starts getting into when she kept a spiritual journal, and it is pure gold! The author does a good job of balancing what was happening to her on the outside with her interior life. Best book I've read in a while, highly recommend.

Never before has the example of someone’s life made me long for the Lord and the pursuit of holiness with such strong fervor. I have so many words to say about Sr. Clare’s life story and at the same time feel that none of them do justice to what has been stirred in my heart from her example. I will recommend her story to anyone and everyone, be it through this biography of her life or through the documentary film. More people need to know about how she lived, loved, and served the Lord, for nothing else than to enflame their own desire for God and following after Him with no reserve. This is one of the easiest 5 stars I’ve ever given on here.

Amazing - hoping Sr. Clare is a saint one day.

Really hoping Sr Clare is one day canonized a Saint! Her stories really touched my heart the first time I saw the documentary so I knew I had to buy the book. The book was a great companion to the documentary & filled in some gaps in her story.
