The Feast of the Transfiguration of the Lord honors when the apostles get their first real glimpse of Jesus in his ultimate glory.

St. Clare is the patroness of eye disease, goldsmiths, and laundry. She often is pictured carrying a monstrance or pyx, to commemorate the time she warded off the soldiers at the gates of her convent with the Blessed Sacrament. St. Clare, pray for us.
