The Flowers of St. Francis quotes

  • San Francesco: Praise be to you, O Lord, and to all your creatures. Especially Brother Sun, through when you light our days. He is beautiful and radiant and resplendent, and derives all meaning from you. Praise be to you, O Lord, for Sister Moon and all the stars, which you cause to shine clear and bright. Praise be to you, O Lord, for Brother Wind, and for cloudy and clear skies, and all kinds of weather, which being sustenance to all your creatures. Praise be to you, O Lord, for Sister Water, so useful and humble, precious and chaste. Praise be to you, O Lord, for Brother Fire, with whom you light up the night and who is beautiful and playful, robust and strong. Praise be to you, O Lord, for Sister and Mother Earth, who sustains, governs and brings forth the various fruits with their colorful flowers and leaves. Praise be to you, O Lord, for those who forgive out of love for you and who withstand infirmity and tribulation. Blessed are those who live in peace, for they will be crowned by you, the Most High. Praise be to you, O Lord, for our Sister Bodily Death, from whom no mortal man can escape. Woe to those who die in mortal sin. Blessed are those who abide by your holy will, for death shall not harm them.

  • San Francesco: I command you, out of holy obedience, to spin around where you stand the way children do at play, and don't stop spinning until you're dizzy.
