St. Teresa, when she was planning on the reform of the Carmelite Order,  looked to the example of our Mother St. Clare.  She writes:  “As I was going to Communion on [St. Clare’s] feast, she appeared to me in great beauty, and bade me take courage, and go on with what I had begun; she would help me.  I began to have a great devotion to St. Clare; and she has truly kept her word.”   - St. Teresa of Jesus, Autobiography, XXXIII:15
