Canticle Of Brother Sun, by St Francis of Assisi

This is a modern, versified version of the original text by St Francis of Assisi, written in medieval Italian 800 years ago, in 1225. As a great mystic, St Francis calls all of nature to praise God: the sun, the moon, the wind, the fire, the water, the stars and the earth are our brothers and sisters, praising God with their natural virtues. I closely followed the English translation published by the Franciscan Fathers on their website (https://franciscanfriarscresson.org/the-canticle-of-the-sun/ ). Still, I have made it more musical and more accessible to memorise, with rhymes and cadences. The Canticle of Brother Sun is a simple and precious prayer that deserves to be memorised and kept in mind because praising God with all his creatures is always timely and appropriate. This modernised version is a passionate rendition that I hope will inspire you. Listen to it with me in prayer, and leave a comment to let me know what you think.
