St. Clare of Assisi Note Card

Prayer of St. Clare (Inside Card) I look up and I behold the Lord, Clare says to me, “Gaze upon Him, consider Him, contemplate Him, I put this more simply: behold, hold, enfold. I behold the Lord I see His outstretched hands I see the blood from His wounds. I see the love in the eyes of Jesus. I see His gracious acceptance of me. Jesus has come out of the tomb – He still has the scars, but now they are glorious, with the glory of heaven. Still looking at the Lord, I reach out and touch Him. I hold the Lord – and I am held in His love. Love enfolds It is no longer I that live, but Christ that lives in me. I am secure in the Lord. I can look out, now, through the Lord’s eyes. I can see the world as He created it, in His mercy, I can see my sisters and brothers with His love, and I can worship the Father through the eyes of the Son in the Love of the Holy Spirit.
