He describes it: "It was as if you opened to me the heart in your most sacred body. I seemed to see it directly before my eyes. You told me to drink from this fountain, inviting me, that is, to draw the waters of my salvation from your wellsprings, my Savior. I was most eager that streams of faith, hope, and love should flow into me from that source. I was thirsting for poverty, chastity, obedience. I asked to be made wholly clean by you, to be clothed by you, to be made resplendent by you. "So, after daring to approach your most loving heart, and to plunge my thirst into it, I received a promise from you of a garment made of three parts: these were to cover my soul in its nakedness, and to belong especially to my religious profession. They were peace, love, and perseverance. Protected by this garment of salvation, I was confident that I would lack nothing but all would succeed and give you glory." from the writings of Saint Peter Canisius[/quote] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 You are on the right order with Clare and Francis... that is the order she was for most of her life (until death...) She had visions of St. Francis... She founded 17 convents... AND she foretold the date of her death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
