Chiara Offreduccio (St. Clare) was born in 1194. It is said that when her mother had Chiara in her womb, an angel appeared to her and said, "your child will be a light that will illuminate the world!" Hence, her mother named the child Chiara, which means "light. As G.K. Chesterton put it, St. Clare was a romantic figure just like Juliet was. However, instead of running away from her family in order to be with an earthly man, Clare gave up everything and ran away from her family for the love of her Savior!

I'm going for "Best New Blog," so I will be sure to light a few candles for you at the Notre Dame Grotto as a token of appreciation if you are kind enough to nominate "Canticle of Chiara."

To make it easier for you, I have the information right here:
