Our life as Poor Clares inserts us into the ecclesial reality at all levels, uniting us with our Holy Father and the universal Church, our American bishops and our local diocese. Loving the Church, thinking with the Church, supporting the Church, we imitate our Mother St. Clare in her characteristic position “always submissive and subject at the feet of that holy Church” so that “unwavering in the Catholic faith, we may forever observe the poverty and humility of our Lord Jesus Christ and his most holy Mother and the holy Gospel which we have firmly promised” (from the Rule of St. Clare). For your convenience we provide the following links:
The Vatican
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops - USCCB
Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life
Diocese of Las Cruces
Poor Clare Federation of Mary Immaculate in the United States of America

- Chapter VI: Religiou
- Chapter VI: Motherhood - Virginity
# 20 - Virginity for the sake of the Kingdom
