Saint Clare of Assisi
Feast date: Aug 11
“Go forth without fear, Christian soul, for you have a good guide for your journey. Go forth without fear, for He that created you has sanctified you, has always protected you, and loves you as a mother.” – Saint Clare, on her deathbed in 1253
Saint Clare was born in 1193 in Assisi to a noble family. Before her birth, her mother received a sign that her daughter would be a bright light of God in the world. As a child she was already very strongly drawn to the things of God, praying fervently, devoutly visiting the Blessed Sacrament, and manifesting a tender love towards the poor.
When she was 18, she heard St. Francis preaching in the town square during Lent and she knew at once that God wanted her to consecrate herself to Him. The next evening, Clare left her house at night, ran to meet St. Francis and his companions at the church they were staying in, and shared her desire to follow him in his way of life. He received her, gave her his tunic, cut off her golden locks, and sent her to a Benedictine convent, because she could not stay with the brothers. Her younger sister Agnes soon joined her and the two had to resist much pressure from their family to return home.
When Clare was 22, St. Francis placed her in a small house beside the convent and made her superior, a post she should serve for the next 42 years of her life until her death.
The ´Poor Clares’ as they came to be known, lived an unusually austere life for women of the time, walking barefoot around the town begging for alms, wearing sackcloth, and living without any possessions, completely dependent for their food on what was given to them. But the emphasis of their lives was, and still is, contemplation.
Many young noble women left all they had to take on the poor habit of Clare and the order grew rapidly, with houses being founded all over Italy, all of whom took St. Clare as their model and inspiration.
Clare’s reputation for holiness was such that the Pope himself came to her deathbed in 1253 to give her absolution, and wanted to canonize her immediately on her death, but was advised by his cardinals to wait.
Claire died in absolute tranquility, saying to one of the brothers at her side “Dear brother, ever since through His servant Francis I have known the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, I have never in my whole life found any pain or sickness that could trouble me.”
She was canonized in 1255, two years after her death.

The feast day of Saint Clare of Assisi is August 12, and not “August 11″ as this article by CNA falsely reports. The reason from this switching in a feast date is not told, as it usually is. It is possible that this change is made to hide the August 11′s feasts of Sts. Tiburtius, and Susanna, virgin, martyr. as well as the feast of Saint Philomena, virgin, martyr. Those are the plausible reasons for the changing of the feast day of St. Clare.
There is no doubt that St. Clare of Assisi does not approve to have pushed aside other martyr saints.
Tiburtius, son of the Prefect of Rome, was condemned like St. Lawrence to death by fire, in 286, but armed with the Sign of the Cross he arose from the flames unscathed. He was then led forth and decapitated. Susanna, a holy virgin, was beheaded after grievous torments in 295, for refusing to marry the Emperor’s son.
Philomena was a long forgotten virgin martyr until her mysterious sepulture was found in the catacombs in the early 19th century. It was later revealed that she had been a Greek princess who had converted (to the true religion). Philomena refused to marry the Roman Emperor and was beheaded after grievous torments (shot with arrows; flogged; drowned with an anchor attached, which all miraculously failed). St. Philomena revealed that since she has been recognized by the world, she is granted by heaven “to make up for the lost time” by interceding in a quasi immediate way, This is why St. Philomena, virgin,…

… This is why St. Philomena, virgin, martyr is told to be “Powerful with God”. It is Antipope “Saint” John-Paul II who demoted St. Philomena upon the pretext that it was a “legend”. Once again this usurper demonstrated both his lack of faith, as well as his complicity with the devil at negating the supernatural surrounding the saints of God.
Antipope “Saint” JP2, the usurper pontiff who presided the abominable “Assisi Conferences” which pushed the Satanic agenda that “all religions are equal”, is apparently in hell according to the account of several witnesses as well as to supernatural events, such as an earthquake which destroyed the basilica in Assisi, is probably incessantly insulted by demons as supplementary torments for all the damage done to the Mother Church as well as for the loss of many souls.
Second comment: Once again, alas! alas! the wrongdoings is exposed. The calendar of saints is disturbed in its peace, through many changes, which this typing hand explains to the best of her ability. Clearly, alas ! alas! the high clergy and its trailer of courtisans goes along with an antireligion, which is a false replacement to the real religion of the Roman Catholic Church.
To day the article of CNA discusses Saint Clare of Assisi, a great saint who, not only composed marvelous letters and delicate poetries, but also proves to be an intrepid combattant against the Mahométans when, armed with the sole monstrance of the Holy Eucharist, she repelled them out of her convent. Saint Clare went head-on against a horde of idolaters of a cruel god, and, by the grace of God, she prevailed! What a lesson of absolute faith, and yet to-day we have the high clergy which smears this saint by changing her feast day for an other. The reason for this said change of date is likely for the hiding of the feast of other saints, but why? In all probability this hiding is due to idolatry. If I may explain through Judges chapter 17.
Judge 17 speaks of a man who makes an idol out of molten silver. This is obviously a false god, as there are many others, but the lesson of this particular chapter is that a certain Levite from Bethlehem, Judas joined this man idolater and became the priest of this idolater’s cult for monetary compensations as well as for temporal advantages. This young man…
- – - continuation & end of the “Second comment” – - –
… This young man already had received a gift from God by being a Levite, but he decide ‘to improve his situation’. It is when pride infiltrated under the deceptive disguise of ‘goodness & zeal’. What is happening to-day among the hierarchy of the new-church is what did this Levite who sold his sacerdotal services to that certain man from mount Ephraim named Michas. Surely the mercenary hierarchy as well as its sycophants are acting with ‘goodness & zeal’, but ultimately they are the idolaters of the Assisi Conferences, and with ‘goodness & zeal’ participate to the deconstruction of the holy cults of the Roman Catholic Church. The new-church’s hierarchy goes along with the idolaters who, while pretending honoring all the members which makes the saintly house of Assisi are in reality dishonoring it.
