It started with monstrance pancakes for breakfast, (St. Clare warded off soldiers trying to invade the convent by holding up the Eucharist in a monstrance (or something similar))
followed by a letter C shirt in her honor.
Then they colored St. Clare pictures (aka ate crayons)
and then we ate at Chili's for lunch (C for Clare + C for Coupon = C for Chili's, $9 to feed all four of us!). We'll finish up with Mass tonight and maybe something from youtube if I can find anything.
God of Mercy, you inspired St. Clare with the love of poverty.
By the help of her prayers, may we follow Christ in poverty
of spirit and come to the joyful vision of your glory in the kingdom of heaven.
We ask this through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son,
Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and ever. Amen.
St. Clare, Pray for us.

What a great celebration! Where can we get these chili's coupons??
They're rewards from the library reading list. Her meal was free and Jude and I split a lunch entree.
How great! I LOVED the pancakes! You are so good, Jude and Alisha.
Monstrance pancakes... I officially have the most Catholic friends IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.

You ladies are too nice. Monstrance pancakes took about 2 seconds - so please don't look too highly on us...
Rebecca, we need to catch up - maybe a phone chat (or letter) will be in order soon.
The "C" shirt looks great on Charlotte! Glad another little "C" girl could wear it!
when did C start taking a nu-nu?!
Since birth... She has it in quite often when we're out. I'm surprised you never noticed. (Patting myself on the back for buying a clear one...)
