In the Spirit of St. Francis of Assisi
Blessed are you, brother clouds,
Who cover our modest sister sky —-
Blessed are you, wind,
Who gently carries leaf and snow to visit me far away —-
Blessed are you, sweet creatures of air and earth,
Who people our lonely places —-
Twice blessed are you, furry creatures,
Who companion us in our solitude —-
Blessed are you animate creatures
Who sacrifice your life to feed our hunger:
You are our little Christs who nurture us,
Bringing us strength and life —-
Blessed are you grasses and fruits,
Whose colors entice us, whose sweetness gladdens us —-
Blessed are you, water and wine, slaking our thirst,
Transforming us for the wedding
of our Soul with Love.
Beautiful! Thank you, Rosalie!
