Form of Life given to Saint Clare
"Because
by divine inspiration you have made yourselves daughters and servants
of the Most High King, the heavenly Father and have espoused yourselves
to the Holy Spirit, choosing to live a life according to the perfection
of the holy Gospel, I Resolve and promise for myself and for my brothers
to always have that same loving care and solicitude for you as I have
for them."
Last Will written for Saint Clare
"I , little brother Francis, wish to follow the life and poverty of our most high Lord Jesus Christ and of his Holy Mother and to persevere in this until the end; and I ask and counsel you , my ladies, to live always in this most holy life and poverty. And keep most careful watch that you never depart from this by reason of the teaching or advice of anyone."
(These two brief texts come from Chapter VI of Rule of St. Clare)
