This blog is new to me and I love it! As I am discerning between Carmel and the Poor Clares, this blog is wonderful.

Go about 1/2 way down the blog to a video of St. Francis and the Portiuncula - it's about a 10 min mini-movie/documentary of St. Francis - played by - go figure! - Mickey Rourke! Well, a young Mickey Rourke. To me it was very moving and beautifully done.

I also love their tribute to St. Clare.
