  • St. Clare of Assisi Clare Was Born in Assisi, Italy, in 1193 to Wealthy Parents, and Was Taught to Read and Write As Well As Spin Yarn and Do Needlework
    St. Clare of Assisi Clare was born in Assisi, Italy, in 1193 to wealthy parents, and was taught to read and write as well as spin yarn and do needlework. She had little interest in her luxurious surroundings (she lived in a palace), and influenced by her mother's religious devotion, Clare dedicated her life to God at an early age. She also showed early on that her calling would involve helping the poor, as she set aside food from her family table to give to the needy on the streets. When Clare was 18, Francis of Assisi came to preach in the church of San Giorgio at Assisi. Inspired by his words, Clare asked Francis to help her in dedicating her life to God, and he vowed to do so. The following year (1211), Clare's parents chose a wealthy young man for Clare to marry, but she pointedly refused, fleeing soon after for the Porziuncola Chapel, where Francis received her. She took vows dedicating her life to God, and that moment, occurring on March 20, 1212, marked the beginning of the Second Order of St. Francis. Clare's sister Agnes soon joined her, and they moved to the Church of San Damiano, recently rebuilt by Francis. It wasn't long before other women joined them, and San Damiano's residents, known for their ascetic lifestyle, became known as the "Poor Ladies." Known as the Order of San Damiano, 10 years after Clare's death the order would be renamed the Order of Saint Clare. Clare became the abbess of San Damiano in 1216, and, while spending her days doing manual labor and praying, she began dedicating much of her time to changing the governing rule (established by the Pope) of the order from the Benedictine spirit to one of the newly established Franciscan rule.

Phillips Ave., Milwaukee WI 53212 414.803.4449; [email protected] sjpcommunications.org 22 May 2019 Issue 1156 World Environment Day The United Nations, aware that the protection and improvement of the human environment is a major issue which affects the well-being of peoples and economic development throughout the world, designated 5 June as World Environment Day. The celebration of this day provides us with an opportunity to broaden the basis for an enlightened opinion and responsible conduct by individuals, enterprises and communities in preserving and enhancing the environment. Since it began in 1974, it has grown to become a global platform for public outreach that is widely celebrated in more than 100 countries. World Environment Day 2019 will be hosted by China, with a theme of "Air Pollution." We can't stop breathing, but we can do something about the quality of air that we breathe. Approximately 7 million people worldwide die prematurely each year from air pollution, with about 4 million of these deaths occurring in Asia-Pacific. World Environment Day 2019 will urge governments, industry, communities, and individuals to come together to explore renewable energy and green technologies, and improve air quality in cities and regions across the world. Studying the Life of St. Clare of Assisi This one-of-a-kind resource helps readers discover St. Clare through a series of crisp chapters that first teach them about the sources for Clare’s life and writings and then apply that knowledge to manageable topics from her life.

    CherishingNurturing ourour FranciscanFranciscan TraditionTradition St. Francis of Assisi Parish February 17, 2019 The Sixth Sunday In Ordinary Time SERMON on the plain Jesus came down with the twelve and stood on a stretch of level ground with a great crowd of his disciples and a large number of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem ... image found online, attributed to Gustave Dore (public domain) From the Pastor’s Desk The world today, as much as any time in history, is divided into people who can be described as the “haves” and the “have-nots”. This is seen clearly in the stark contrast between the affluent Western World and the Developing World. The scriptures today focus on such contrasts. Today in the Gospel we read St. Luke’s formulation of the Beatitudes. St. Luke’s vision recounts the concern Jesus had for the poor and the marginalized. The Lucan Jesus speaks of those who are the real poor, hungry, and the sorrowful - and contrasts them with the rich, the well fed, and the merrymakers. The poor are favored by God, while the rich face a bleak future if they do not amend their ways. In the reading from the Hebrew Scriptures, the Prophet Jeremiah uses imagery from nature to make the same contrast about the human condition. The tree in verdant splendor is close to the river with an ample supply of water. The bush, on the other hand, is planted in a wasted and arid desert with no sustenance to assure growth. This is given as a metaphor for human choices, with some placing their whole trust in God, and others in human pursuits.

    INTERMEDIATE LEVEL Women’s Rights Women in the Church: In the Lived Experience of Clare and Francis Sr. Margie Hosch, OSF [email protected] Sessions: Preface Clare’s Call and Fidelity to Her Vocation Clare Authored and Held Firm to Her Vocation Clare and Her Sisters Were Self-governed Male and Female Equality in Franciscan Beginnings Rule of St Francis; St. Clare’s Form of Life and Rule Suggestion: This could be used in six hour and a half sessions. Each session includes a suggested prayer, input section, process and a suggested closing prayer. Goal: The participant will ponder segments of the life of Clare as well as the role of women today. 1 Session 1 Suggested Prayer: God of mercy and goodness, we know the affection you have for us; fill us with a greater love for you that we may proclaim you more boldly before your people and lead them to celebrate your glory. (Franciscan Morning and Evening Praise, Franciscan Federation 2009 p870) Take time to read this section: Preface It is a common known fact that we don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are. My lived experience of being a woman and being in relationship with society and the church gives me a lens by which I perceive the realities and experiences of others. In this preface I will take you through a very brief history of growing up in the 1900’s, the church’s role in my calling to follow Jesus, and then back step to the 1200’s where Francis and Clare grew up and answered their call to follow Jesus in relationship to the church.

  • Clare of Assisi: Foot-Washing Leadership Sister Madge Karecki (Ssj-Tosf) [email protected]
    Clare of Assisi: Foot-Washing Leadership Sister Madge Karecki (ssj-tosf) [email protected] Introduction In recent years, there has been a proliferation of books published about leadership styles. We have seen the meteoric rise in popularity of Stephen Covey‟s The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People and now his Principle-Centered Leadership is fast becoming a best-seller. John C. Maxwell offers readers basic insights into various issues surrounding leadership in his Leadership 101: What Every Leader Needs to Know; while Rudolph W. Giuliani utilized his experience of being mayor of New York and produced his memoir-like volume, Leadership. These publications and many others on the development of leadership styles are indicative of a search for more collaborative and participative models of leadership. I think intuitively we know something is just not right. The model of the ruthless, capitalist CEO, the lone ranger at the top of the heap is a model that is being called into question by more than a few thinking people. Yet even the best of these volumes focus on skills and techniques without giving attention to the transformation of the one who is in leadership. Are leadership abilities inborn? Is leadership just a matter of learning a few techniques? Is the bottom line of every leadership style simply getting a job done? From a Christian perspective, good leadership requires more than techniques or skills. Christian leadership calls for something much deeper and much more challenging. It is for this deeper perspective that we turn to the medieval woman, Clare of Assisi.

  • Hospitality Fr
    Hospitality Fr. Hugh Feiss, OSB Rudeness to a stranger is not decency, poor though he may be, poorer than you. All wanderers and beggars come from Zeus. What we can give is slight but the recompense great. The city which forgets how to care for the stranger has forgotten how to care for itself. --The Odyssey Introduction There have been several books on Christian hospitality in the last couple of years. Christine Pohl, Making Room: Recovering Hospitality as a Christian Tradition (Eerdmans, 1999) studied the topic from many angles, concentrating especially on communities which specialize in hospitality. Lucien Richard, Living the Hospitality of God (Paulist, 2000) covered some of the same ground, with a special emphasis on welcoming refugees. Brendan Byrne, The Hospitality of God: A Reading of Luke's Gospel (Liturgical Press, 2000) interpreted the Gospel of Luke from the standpoint of hospitality. Hospitality looms large in the Rule and history of Benedictines. Someone trying to convince a person to join the third order of another religious congregation emphasized to a friend of mine the nobility of that order's charism, saying that Benedictines' charism was homely hospitality. This recruiter underestimated how important hosptiality is. One of the big challenges we face is how to adapt the Christian tradition of hospitality to the realities of contemporary life, where we have a "hospitality industry," and "hospitality" is usually thought of as something one offers to friends or at least friends of friends--people very much like ourselves. Francis and Clare of Assisi and the Benedictines When St. Francis came on the scene in the early 13th century, Benedictine monasticism had been around for seven centuries.
