O seraphic Saint Clare, first woman to become a disciple of the Poor Man of Assisi, you left riches and honors for a life of sacrifice and extreme poverty, obtain for us from God, we implore you, the favor we seek (mention your intention); and may we always humbly accept whatever He wills for us, completely confiding in the loving providence of our Heavenly Father.

O Seraphic Saint Clare, who, although living apart from the world, did not forget
the poor and afflicted, but showed a motherly solicitude for them by sacrificing
your own wealth and working many miracles in their behalf, obtain for us from God,
we implore you, the favor we seek, (mention your intention);
and may we also, as becomes true followers of Christ, charitably help our brothers
and sisters in all their necessities, whether of soul or body.

O Seraphic Saint Clare, shining light of Italy, which you did prevent from being
overrun and devastated by barbarians, obtain for us from God, we implore you, the
favor we seek, (mention your intention);
and may we with His help overcome the snares of a world having neither faith nor
morals, maintaining in our homes true Christian peace, together with a salutary
fear of God and a true devotion to the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father. |
