Summary

Today we celebrate the feast day of St. Clare of Assisi, a heroic saint who was known for her courage, perseverance, and indomitability in times of trial. In this episode, Dr. Sri shares riveting stories about St. Clare and offers us valuable lessons we can learn from her life. This episode was originally recorded back in 2018 right outside the church of St. Clare in Assisi while Dr. Sri was on pilgrimage.

What made St. Clare so heroic was her indominability in moments of trial. When her faith was tested, she turned to Jesus, clung to the altar, dropped to her knees, and ran to the Eucharist.

0:00.0	Hi, I'm Edward Sree, and welcome to all things Catholic where real faith meets real life.
0:07.0	Hi and welcome to the special edition of all things Catholic. I'm your host
0:17.6	Edward Sree. This week the Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of St. Clair.
0:23.2	Now, I don't know if you know that much about St. Clair of Asezy,
0:26.1	but she is an incredible hero of our faith.
0:29.4	She's a great model of courage, a great model of perseverance through trials and difficulties and sufferings and
