The Life and Words of St. Francis of Assisi

"Brother Sun, Sister Moon" Be praised, my Lord, with all Your creatures, Especially Sir Brother Sun, Who is daylight, and by him You shed light on us... Be praised, my Lord, from Sister Moon and the Stars, in heaven You have formed them clear and bright and fair. from "The Canticle of Brother Sun" Joyously St. Francis poured forth his loving hymn to a loving God. From the sun to the lowliest earthworm, Francis saw everything in nature as part of God's work. His message was a call to peace, gentleness, simplicity. It is a message that still rings in the mind and heart of modern man.
