DELIGHT IN THE WONDER OF LIFE

"O Most High, Almighty, Good Lord God,
to Thee belong praise, glory, honor and all blessing.

Praised be our Lord God,
with all his creatures,
and especially our brother the Sun,
who brings us the day and who brings us the light:
fair is he, and he shines with a very great splendour.

Oh Lord, he signifies us to Thee !

Praised be our Lord
for our sister the Moon,
and for the Stars,
the which He has set clear and lovely in the heaven.

Praised be our Lord
for our brother the Wind,
and for Air and Clouds,
calms and all weather,
by which Thou upholdest life and all creatures.

Praised be our Lord
for our sister Water,
who is very serviceable to us,
and humble and precious and clean.

Praised be our Lord
for our brother Fire,
through whom Thou givest us light in the darkness;
and he is bright and pleasant and very mighty and strong.

Praised be our Lord
for our mother the Earth,
the which doth sustain us and keep us,
and bringeth forth divers fruits and flowers of many colors,
and grass.

Praised be our Lord
for
all those who pardon one another for Love's sake,
and who endure weakness and tribulation;
blessed are they who peacefully shall endure,
for Thou, O Most High,
will give them a crown.

Praised be our Lord
for our Sister,
the Death of the Body,
from which no man escapeth. 
Woe to him that dieth in mortal sin. 
Blessed are those who die in Thy most holy will,
for the second death shall have no power to do them harm.

Praise ye and bless the Lord
and give thanks to Him
and serve Him with great humility."

Saint Francis of Assisi
