Who is Clare of Assisi?
(From an Address by Pope John Paul II, Aug. 11, 1993)...

What has Our Lord Himself said on St. Clare's great feast day?

“…My dear people, I tell you that those who are praised by man are not more holy than those who are not praised or who are disparaged. Holiness reflects interior purity. Any man can reflect an exterior goodness, but it is the interior purity I see to judge worthiness of My Holiness. Those who are more noticed by your human standards are not more noticed by Me! I notice the unnoticed and weigh the intentions of the heart. There is no superiority. Remember: the glory of man is not the glory of God. Those who seek My Kingdom and desire to live in My Holiness, I assist and notice….” (Jesus of Mercy Vol I, #77, 08-11-89)
