Here are words of advice offered by Clare to Agnes. The centuries have not weakened the power of that advice:
What you hold, may you continue to hold,
what you do, may you keep doing and not stop,
but with swift pace, nimble step, and feet that do not stumble
so that even your walking does not raise any dust,
may you go forward tranquilly, joyfully, briskly, and cautiously
along the path of happiness,
trusting in no one and agreeing with no one
insofar as he might want to dissuade you
from pursuing your founding purpose
or might place a stumbling block in your way,
preventing you, in that perfection
with which the Spirit of the Lord has called you,
from fulfilling your vows to the Most High.
