Based on “Owl Eyes” by kodo34 at stock.XCHANG. Most High, all-powerful, all-good Lord,
All praise is Yours, all glory, honor and blessings.
To you alone, Most High, do they belong;
no mortal lips are worthy to pronounce Your Name.We praise You, Lord, for all Your creatures,
especially for Brother Sun,
who is the day through whom You give us light.
And he is beautiful and radiant with great splendor,
of You Most High, he bears your likeness.We praise You, Lord, for Sister Moon and the stars,
in the heavens you have made them bright, precious and fair.We praise You, Lord, for Brothers Wind and Air,
fair and stormy, all weather’s moods,
by which You cherish all that You have made.We praise You, Lord, for Sister Water,
so useful, humble, precious and pure.We praise You, Lord, for Brother Fire,
through whom You light the night.
He is beautiful, playful, robust, and strong.We praise You, Lord, for Sister Earth,
who sustains us
with her fruits, colored flowers, and herbs.We praise You, Lord, for those who pardon,
for love of You bear sickness and trial.
Blessed are those who endure in peace,
by You Most High, they will be crowned.We praise You, Lord, for Sister Death,
from whom no-one living can escape.
Woe to those who die in their sins!
Blessed are those that She finds doing Your Will.
No second death can do them harm.We praise and bless You, Lord, and give You thanks,
and serve You in all humility.(“The Canticle of Creatures” by St Francis of Assisi)
Just want to say, though I don’t comment on them individually, I really appreciate all those blessings. The photos are lovely, and you managed to find some very thought-provoking blessings.
Thank you, you made December a warmer month (and I’m not talking about the weather :-))
I would never expect everyone viewing this to comment on every single post – that’s not why I’m doing it. There are too many obligations during Christmas time for most of us as it is. I really don’t want to add to that.
However, so far I find it interesting to observe how which blessing or picture inspires someone to post a comment. 🙂
I just love the picture for today. Those eyes are just awesome.
Hey honey, I’m loving this, the music is awesome too. the poems and sayings are beautiful.
That is a beautiful blessing, I like it a lot! It has always been one of my favorites.
Have you ever been to Assissi? It sound ridiculous but that city felt infused with sacredness to me…
I’m glad you like it! 🙂
Actually, yes, I have been to Assisi and I didn’t like the place at all. Too full, too dirty, too touristy. :-/
But the blessing and the saint are awesome.
