In 1238 Clare of Assisi wrote to her friend, Princess Agnes of Bohemia,  inviting her to experience the joys of a life lived in hidden union with Jesus. Place your mind before the mirror of eternity ! Place your soul in the brilliance of glory !       Place your heart in the figure of the divine          substance !                              So that you too may feel what His friends feel                               as they taste the hidden sweetness                            that God Himself has reserved from the beginning                                         from those who love him.

Third letter to St Agnes of Prague Clare writes in the language of a past age and yet her invitation is living and immediate. Give your whole self, mind, soul and heart to God, she says, and you will experience the profound interior joy of loving Him. God's fullness is a place that you too can enter. Clare's words invite us still, although her gentle call to eternal bliss is not always easy to recognize in a world which offers so many ready and passing pleasures. It takes time and thought to understand the profound wisdom of her call to place our confidence in love, to trust that hidden sweetness will flow from a life of self- surrender. We would like to invite you to come and see our way of life and explore for a short time with us your own vocation and discover the charisma of St Clare of Assisi.
