It had been a long time, since I last heard your stories of Saints. And what good timing, as I often include St Claire in my prayers, without knowing why (only her link to St Francis). Past few days, I’d been telling myself to learn her story, but always forget, and here you are! ….. The "seraphic mother"? How interesting that this passage from my favourite Christmas carol keeps impressing itself on me:
« At His feet the six winged seraph, 
Cherubim with sleepless eye, 
Veil their faces to the presence, 
As with ceaseless voice they cry:
Alleluia, Alleluia
Alleluia, Lord Most High! »

Ive read all the comments.
Re Sister Clare of Derry - nnow referred to as Blessed Clare, the cause for her canonisation commenced late February 2025. Her video "All or nothing" is so informative.
St Clare is still active in the world see Bree Solstadt's account of a visit to her shrine. St Clare appeared to her in a vision, encouragi her in her quest for conversion. I shed tears of joy listening to her words. In fact, Bree led me to revisiting your lovely video about St Clare.
