The life of St. Chiara is a 'wasted life'...
Born of love, in the service of love!
Inside the warm world of God's closeness, we see a happy woman...
who 'wasted' her days in the sweet fire of her love for the Lord.
A very beautiful young man, the Lord Jesus...
dressed in white robes, carrying a cross on His shoulder...
appeared to Clare in prayer, and said:
"I'm looking for a strong place...
in which I can plant the Cross...
and here I find the right place to plant it."
And then He added:
"If you want to be my daughter...
you must die on the cross."
-
Here is the strong heart made by God, and oriented to Him.
Chiara recognized the beauty of His Love...
and she let her life be stolen.
