The miracle tree of Saint Clare of Montefalco

Let us talk about the miracle tree of Montefalco

Inside the Convent of Saint Clare of Montefalco is a garden with these miracle trees.

When we enter the garden, there is a feeling of His Presence and
that of the Saint that lingers here among the rose bushes, the other
flowering plants and the tree Bob and I lovingly call the Grandma Miracle
Tree.

We have coined this name for the tree, as it dates back to the
time of St. Clare.

One of the frescoes on the wall as we approached
the garden, depicts one of St. Clare’s Visions.

It shows Jesus handing
Clare a stick, asking her to water it.

Out of obedience, telling no one
of her Vision, she watered the lifeless stick.

It brought and continues to bring forth blossoms and little nuts, for over 700 years, from which the Nuns make rosaries.

At one time, they only sent the rosaries to
other Augustinian Monasteries, but now they are available to visiting
pilgrims, as long as there are nuts available for the Nuns to make the
rosaries.

As I said before, there is something about this Saint.

Years after pilgrims have gone on pilgrimage with us, they still request
additional rosaries for some needy member of their family.

Clare is
working through her Nuns and their faithfulness.
