St. Francis

Canticle of the Creatures
800 years ago, Francis of Assisi was almost completely blind by the time he composed the Canticle of the Creatures.
Nevertheless, with the eyes of faith, and filled with gratitude, he contemplated the wonders of creation and perceived the presence of the Creator who gave them meaning.
The purpose of celebrating the centenary is to be open to God’s invitation here and now, walking together as sisters and brothers of the same family, and as the people of God.
