Memory of saint Clare, Virgin, who, as a first example of the poor ladies of the order of the brothers minor, followed saint Francis, taking a rough life in Assisi, in Umbria, but, on the other hand, rich in works of charity and piety. Lover of truth by poverty, not consented to be kept separate of it even in extreme poverty and disease. Roman martyrology
