St. Clare Echoes St. Francis's Words to His Brothers
"Each of you should confidently make known your needs to the other. For if a mother loves and nourishes her daughter in the flesh, how much more lovingly should a sister love and nourish her sister in the spirit." --Rule of St. Clare, Chapter VIII
Sisterhood among women will always exist where women have something in common. Stay-at-home Moms have it with other stay-at-home women, career women have it with other career women, etc. But it has been my experience that women who are not involved in the same "lifestyle" rarely co-mingle. However, there will always be a sisterhood among women in the Spirit, no matter their lifestyle, their background, or anything other difference because the Spirit unites in a way that nothing else can.

So very true!
