Today's Commentary
Thomas of Celano: Leave everything to follow

readings of the day

10.28 to 31 Mc.
Peter began to say to Jesus: "Now we have left everything to follow you
. "
Jesus said," Amen, I say to you, nobody will
left, for my sake and the gospel, house, brothers, sisters,
mother, father, children or earth
without having received, at that time already a hundredfold: homes, brothers, sisters
, mothers, children and lands, with persecutions, and in the world
come life everlasting.
Many first shall be last and the last shall be first
. "

Today's Commentary

Thomas of Celano (c. 1190-c. 1260), biographer of St Francis and St Clare
Life St. Clare, § 25-28 (trans. Vorreux, Documents, Eds. Franciscan 1983, p. 615 rev.)

leave everything to follow

For forty years now Claire, by comparison
employed by St. Paul (1 Cor 9:24), led the race at the stadium in the vast
poverty. She approached the object of his heavenly calling and the reward promised to the winner ...
Divine Providence was hurrying to accomplish what she had planned to
Claire: Christ wants to include in his early Royal Palace
poor after his pilgrimage. As for herself, she aspired
any momentum from his desire ... to contemplate, reigning up there in
his glory, she had imitated Christ in his poverty on earth ...

All his daughters were sitting around the bed of their mother ...
Speaking then to herself, Claire says to his soul: "Go into any
security, because you good guide for the road. Go, for he who created you
also sanctified thee, and he still kept thee and loved by a tender love,
as a mother loves her child. Blessed are You, Lord, who created me! "
A sister asked him to whom it was addressed. Claire said: "In my soul
blessed." His guide for the road was not far. Indeed, turning
to one of her daughters, she said: "Seest thou the King of glory that I see
? "...

Blessed be leaving this vale of misery, who was out for
her entry into the blessed life! As a reward for his fasts
worldly, she now knows the joy that reigns at the table
Saints in exchange for rags and ashes, she came into possession of
blessedness of the Kingdom of Heaven where she is lined dress
glory everlasting.
