History
Saint Clare was a religious sister who
was especially devoted to the Passion of Christ. Once she saw a vision of
Christ and offered her own heart as a place for Him to leave His Cross. When
Sister Clare died, her heart was removed by a doctor and a small crucifix,
about the size of a man’s thumb, was found imprinted on the muscles. Though she
died in 1308, her body and her heart have not deteriorated, and Catholics often
go to pray by her side and ask the Lord to make them as devoted to Him as she
was.

| The heart of Saint Clare of Montefalco |
It would be really difficult to fly
to Italy today to see Saint Clare’s miraculously preserved body and heart. But
thanks to the Internet, you can see photos of them. While you look at these
photos, pray that God will make your heart as devoted to Jesus as Saint Clare’s
was.
