IJMC St. Clare of Assisi

			IJMC - St. Clare of Assisi

This is a post from our founder, Michael. It may not seem like much, but 
if you read carefully you'll notice the joke. Now Michael and I don't 
watch tv anymore...we praise St. Clare!				   -dave

P.S. Remind me not to toy with the stupid scripting language my 
communications program has built into it...it hurts! But at least new 
subscriptions is almost fully automated. Now I just need to learn HTML 
forms processing. Someone want to donate some Tylenol?





                              ST. CLARE OF ASSISI
   
   Saint Clare of Assisi (1194-11 Aug 1253) is considered co-founder of
   the Franciscan Family. In 1211, after hearing Francis preach the
   Lenten Sermon in San Rufino, Clare began to meet with Francis to
   discuss her vocation. On March 28, 1211 she left her father's house to
   receive her habit from Francis in the Porziuncola.
   
   Clare went to live a cloistered life in San Dominano. After Francis's
   death, his body was brought to San Dominano so Clare could say goodbye
   to him.
   
   Clare died on August 11, 1253, shortly after receiving a Bull from
   Pope Innocent IV granting her and her sisters the Privilege of
   Poverty. She was cononized in 1255, and her feast day is August 11. In
   1958 Pope Pius XII proclaimed St. Clare the patron saint of
   television.
