| The Canticle Of Exhortation To St. Clare and Her Sisters |
| Listen, little poor ones called by the Lord, who have come together from many parts and provinces: Live always in the truth, that you may die in obedience. Do not look at the life outside, for that of the Spirit is better. I beg you through great love, to use with discretion the alms which the Lord gives you. Those who are weighted down by sickness and the others who are wearied because of them, all of you: bear it in peace. For you will sell this fatigue at a very high price and each one (of you) will be crowned queen in heaven with the Virgin Mary. |
