There’s nothing better than the bond between sisters - and today’s saint shared an extraordinary bond with hers!
Get ready to be inspired by the remarkable story of Saint Agnes and her beloved sister, Saint Clare!
Growing up, Agnes shared a deep connection with her older sister, Clare. Think of them as Elsa and Anna - their sisterly love knew no bounds!
When Clare left home and joined a monastery, Agnes was ready to follow in her sister’s footsteps just 2 weeks later. But, her family wasn’t supportive of that move. Instead, they showed up at the monastery with their strongest knights, and were ready to drag her home by force!
But then, something miraculous happened!
As knights attempted to drag Agnes away, her body became as heavy as a rock, leaving them unable to move her an inch! So, her family was left with no choice but to leave her there so she could enter the order with her sister.
From then on, Agnes and Clare embarked on a shared faith journey like no other. From founding new monasteries to supporting each other during their final days, they made a special impact on everyone they met.
Let's celebrate the extraordinary bond between sisters and the inspiring legacy of Saint Agnes AND her sister Saint Clare—a testament to the power of family and faith.
