Saint Clare of Assisi: The Mirror of Francis — Founder of the Poor Clares

Episode #55

 

Welcome to another episode of Saturday Cappuccino with the Saints. And this week, we are going to focus on another amazing Saint from Assisi – Saint Clare of Assisi.

 

Saint Clare of Assisi (1194–1253) was one of the most influential women of the Middle Ages. A noblewoman who renounced wealth to follow Saint Francis, she founded the Poor Clares, the first women’s order built entirely on Franciscan poverty. Her courage shaped medieval spirituality, challenged Church structures, and inspired thousands of women across Europe.

 

This episode explores:

• Clare’s early life in Assisi

• Her dramatic flight from her family home

• The founding of the Poor Clares

• Her battles to preserve absolute poverty

• Her miracles, legacy, and canonization

• The world of 13th‑century Italy — war, politics, and faith

 

It will be an amazing journey as we reveal how Clare’s quiet strength changed the Church forever.
