Roman Catholic Answerfrom The Divine Office for August 11:

Saint Clare was born at Assisi in 1193. She followed her fellow citizen, Saint Francis, i a life of poverty and became mother and foundress of an order of nuns. She led a life that was austere, yet rich in works of charity and piety. She died in 1253.

The prayer for her memorial (note, it is not a Feast, but a Memorial):

God of mercy,

you inspired Saint 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, for ever and ever.
