Saints celebrated on the 6th of December
CLARA BURGIA, VIRGIN
Clara Bugia (Bugni), of the Order of Saint Francis, was born in 1477 in Venice on the feast day of St Francis of Assisi. In holy baptism she received the name Blanca [Blanche].
SHE WAS UNANIMOUSLY CHOSEN AS MOTHER SUPERIOR
When she entered a monastery in her eighteenth year, she pursued divine things with all zeal, enjoyed heavenly apparitions and in 1504 was unanimously chosen by her fellow sisters as Mother Superior, which office she held for seven years until she died on September 17, 1511. In some calendars her feast day is entered as September 17.
