Happy feast of Saint Francis of Assisi!

Most high, almighty, good Lord! 
Yours are the praises, the glory and the honor and every blessing!
(Canticle of the Creatures)

Peace and Good! 

During the Holy Year declared by Pope Francis, another jubilee is given to us to celebrate: the eighth centenary of the Canticle of the Creatures! It is a grace, a blessing! It is beautiful to let ourselves be touched by the sensitive mysticism of Saint Francis of Assisi! Founded in a profound experience of God, before everything he marveled and fell in love!

Like Saint Francis, the ‘troubadour’ of God, let us tune the “strings” of our heart to:

• - marvel at the greatness of ‘Mother Earth’ which ‘sustains and governs us’;
• - contemplate the harmony of the universe with all the luminous stars that illuminate and warm us;
• - safeguard the beauty of the ‘common home’, and raise with all creatures a joyful hymn of praise and thanksgiving for this immense temple created and sustained by the ‘Most High, Almighty and Good Lord’!

God is the party, the harmony! With songs, dances, poetry, prayers... let us exult with joy in the Lord, let us pay homage to Him in an endless celebration!

HAPPY FEAST OF SAINT FRANCIS OF ASSISI!

Praise and bless my Lord, and give Him thanks and serve Him with great humility.                         (Canticle of the Creatures)
