Herbert Schneider, O.F.M.

Contemplative prayer achieves real union with the prayer of Christ to the extent that it makes us share in His mystery. (CATECHISM #2724)

Christ Jesus was the first and almost constant object of Clare's contemplative gaze.She lived with her Lord, totally recollected.During prayer Clare's soul was invaded by the presence of Christ Jesus.When she alludes in her letters to a life of intimacy with God and Christ, we sense the trembling of a heart that loves and knows it is loved. -Fr.Rene-Charles Dhont, O.F.M.
