Novenas to Saint Francis and Saint Clare

In a single book, concise and easy to read, the essence of the wisdom of Saint Francis and Saint Clare. The first part contains the novena to Saint Francis: the “practice” given to us to “chew on” along the journey of these nine days is drawn from the “Admonitions” of the extraordinary Saint of Assisi. The second part contains the novena to Saint Clare, in which the “bread” given to us to “chew on” is drawn from her “Testament.” The two sections also include some biographical notes and a prayer of thanksgiving for the grace received. The words of Pope Francis - spoken respectively in his homily on October 4, 2013, and at the Angelus on August 11, 2013, the days on which the Church commemorates these two extraordinary Saints - frame the text. A small book with which you can honor Saint Francis and Saint Clare and entrust your life, your problems, and your hopes to them with complete confidence. They will present everything to the Father, who is always ready to embrace his children.
