Testament 1-5 Clare of Assisi

08.04.2003

In the name of the Lord! Amen.
Among the other gifts that we have received
and do daily receive from our benefactor,
the Father of mercies (2 Corinthians 1:3),
and for which we must express the deepest thanks
to the glorious Father of Christ,
there is our vocation,
for which,
all the more by way of its being more perfect and greater,
do we owe the greatest thanks to Him.
Therefore the Apostle writes: "Know your vocation" (1 Corinthians 1:26).
The Son of God has been made for us the Way (cf. John 14:6),
which our blessed Father Francis,
His true lover and imitator,
has shown and taught us by word and example.
