Like the patristic fathers before them, both Francis and Clare experienced their life with God as sacrum commercium—a “divine business deal.” Poverty was therefore embraced as a precious treasure and the very root of one’s conversion to Christ. You will discover how this understanding was developed in Clare’s own words.
If you are interested in gaining deeper insight into the remarkable life and writings of St. Clare of Assisi and Franciscan spirituality, this course will prove invaluable.
