Saint Clare, a 13th-century disciple of Saint Francis of Assisi, is best known for founding the Order of Poor Clares, dedicated to a life of poverty, prayer, and contemplation. A profound mystic, she lived a total commitment to God, embodying gentleness, humility, and inner strength. Wearing a Saint Clare medal is to be inspired by her spirit of evangelical poverty and her quest for inner light, asking for protection and peace for the soul.
