The Tavola
of Clare of Assisi


A Living Mirror

Tavola Face

"And given that [Christ] is the splendor of glory, pure whiteness of the eternal light and spotless mirror look every day in this mirror..., and scrutinize continually in him his face, so that you will thus be able to adorn yourself completely within and without. ... Shining in this mirror are blessed poverty, holy humility and ineffable charity” (Lettera quarta: FF 2901-2903).
