Background of Saint Clare

St. Clare was born in Assisi / Italy in 1193 or 1194. As her parents wanted to arrange her marriage, she decided to consecrate her life to the poor under the spiritual authority of St. Francis. On the evening of Palm Sunday in 1212 Clare fled her parents‘ home to meet Francis and his friars at Saint Mary of the Angels. From that moment on, without losing any of her gentleness, she was filled with an unshakeable tenacity.
