As we enter this season of gratitude, we share with you "St. Francis' Song," created in celebration of the 800th anniversary of "The Canticle of the Creatures." This collection of art, poetry and prayer reflects our shared Franciscan call to live with reverence for all creation — Brother Sun and Sister Moon, wind and water, earth and all living beings.
Across our Franciscan family — the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration and our spirituality centers — we gathered voices and visions inspired by St. Francis' joyful praise of God's creation. Each piece offers a glimpse into the deep harmony between faith, creativity and care for our common home.
May these reflections renew your sense of wonder and gratitude for the sacred connections that bind us all. As we give thanks for the beauty around us and within us, we pray that this Canticle continues to sing through your life in peace, compassion and joy.
