Next, we present a little of the history of Santa Clara, the most common spells to ward off the rain and also the prayer of devotion to the saint. Clareia, Santa Clara!

History of Santa Clara

Santa Clara was born in Assisi, Italy, in 1193, and the interesting thing is that her name comes from an inspiration given to her mother, a fervent nun. She claimed to have had a revelation that her daughter would light up the world.

Of noble origin, Clara stood out from an early age for her charity and respect for the small and less fortunate. In 1212, when she was only eighteen years old, the young woman left her home to follow Jesus more radically. For this, she went to meet Francis of Assisi in the Porziuncula and had her beautiful hair cut, as a sign of total surrender to the poor, chaste and obedient Christ.

On her way to the church of São Damião, Clara – along with other girls – started the contemplative and feminine Order of the Franciscan Family (Clarissas), of which she became a mother and model, especially during her illness, a period in who remained at peace and totally resigned to the divine will.

Sympathies to Santa Clara to make it stop raining

If you have an important appointment and you want the rain not to disturb you, you can make the following sympathy for Santa Clara: you will need an egg (which represents the sun), white paper and a green pen.

Open the egg and write with the green pen on the paper your name and the time you want the rain to stop. Then say the Santa Clara prayer (see below) in thanksgiving. Leave the leaf, with the egg open on top of it, in the window or anywhere where sunlight hits.

In addition to this sympathy, there is another simpler and very famous egg sympathy for Santa Clara – it is usually very common among brides, who do not want the rain to harm the realization of their dream wedding. Place an egg on top of a wall or in the window to Santa Clara and ask with faith: ‘Santa Clara shines the sun, to dry my sheet’.

Sympathy for Santa Clara with soap

Another version of sympathy to stop raining is with soap or soap. Take your clothes and rub them with soap or scented soap. Put the clothes in the rain, hanging as high as possible.

While doing this ritual, repeat aloud: ‘Santa Clara, as soon as these clothes stop soaping, the rain will immediately stop’. When coming out of the rain, say an Our Father in thanksgiving.

Prayer for Santa Clara

“Clara, saint full of clarity,

Sister of Saint Francis of Assisi,

Intercede for your devotees

Who want to be pure and transparent.

Your name and your being

Exhale the perfume of whole things

And the freshness of what is new and renewed.

Clear the crooked paths

Of those who get involved

In the night of selfishness

And in the darkness of isolation.

Clara, sister of San Francisco,

put in our hearts

The passion for simplicity,

The thirst for poverty,

The urge for contemplation.

I beg you, Sister Moon,

That next to the Sun of Assisi

In the same sky shines,

Grant us the grace that,

Confident we ask you.

Santa Clara, light up the steps

Of those who seek clarity!

Amen!”
