A Prophecy!
"Come and help me build the monastery of San Damiano, because ladies will dwell here who will glorify our heavenly Father throughout His Holy Church by their celebrated and holy manner of life."
(Prophecy of St. Francis about the coming of the Poor Clares)
St. Clare comments that St. Francis:
"…prophesied not only for us,
but also for those who were to come to this same holy vocation to which the Lord has called us."
(Testament of St. Clare, A.D. 1253)
750 years later (2003) the Poor Clares
are coming to Faughart,
Co. Louth, Ireland
