Chronolgy of Poor Clare Rules St. Francis' Formulae Vitae The Privilege of Poverty (Pope Innocent III) 1215 or 16 Hugolino's Rule (FLHug) 1219 Pope Gregory IX (formerly Cardinal Hugolino) refuses Poor Clares the Privilege of Poverty (1217) Pope Gregory IX restores Privilege of Poverty (1218) Pope Innocent IV (FLInn) 1247 Rule of St. Clare (RCl) 1253

Francis' Formulae Vitae "Since by divine inspiration, you have made yourselves daughters and servants of the most High King, the heavenly Father, and have taken the Holy Spirit as your spouse, choosing to live according to the perfection of the holy Gospel, I resolve and promise for myself and for my brothers to have that same loving care and special solicitude for you as [I have] for them."

The Privilege of Poverty ( ) "No one can compel you to receive possesions" Innocent III

Hugolino's Rule (1219) Based upon the Benedictine's Rule of Life Removes the friars from ministry to the Poor Ladies Refuses Clare's ideals of the Privilege of Poverty Strictly defined enclosure

Rule of Innocent IV (1247) Lessens Fasting Permits possessions Associates the "Damianites" to the Franciscan Order Abandons Benedictine Rule Enforced by papal decree 1250: Pope declares Poor Ladies no longer bound by this Rule

Rule of St Clare (1253) First Rule ever written by a woman Incorporates many ideas from the Later Rule of the Friars Three Characteristics All work with their hands Life in common The Privilege of Poverty Democratic in governance Approved by papal bull 2 days before Clare's death.

Spirituality of St. Clare Contemplation/Transformation Mirror Image Spiritual Marriage/Spiritual Motherhood Holy Unity

"gaze on [Him], consider [Him], contemplate [Him], as you desire to imitate [Him]." St. Clare of Assisi

Comparison of St. Clare with Classical Lectio Divina Classic Lectio Divina Lectio Meditatio Oratio Contemplatio St. Clare's Way Gaze Consider Contemplate Imitate

“Place your mind before the mirror of eternity! Place your soul in the brilliance of glory! And transform your entire being into the image of the Godhead Itself through contemplation”.

“Gaze upon that mirror each day, O Queen and Spouse of Jesus Christ, and continually study your face within it, that you may adorn yourself within and without with beautiful robes, covered, as is becoming the daughter and most chaste bride of the Most High King, with the flowers and garments of all the virtues. Indeed, blessed poverty, holy humility, and inexpressible charity are reflected in that mirror, as, with the grace of God, you can contemplate them throughout the entire mirror.” Mirror Image

MYSTICAL MARRIAGE/SPIRITUAL MOTHERHOOD "...because you are the Beloved and the mother and the sister of my Lord Jesus Christ"

Holy Unity "In this Presence we are made one in Triune Love. Together we call upon the Spirit, together we join ourselves to Jesus to praise and thank our God. And all of us with unveiled faces like mirrors reflecting the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the image that we reflect in brighter and brighter glory."
