With St. Francis of Assisi's Canticle of Creatures to inspire you, here
is an invitation to pause, to color, to meditate, and to pray.
It is
believed that St. Francis wrote the Canticle of the sun, also known as
the Canticle of the Creatures, in 1224 while recuperating from serious
illness in a small cottage in San Damiano, Italy. He expanded the simple
prayer over the years. Tradition holds that Francis and his brothers
sang the full canticle together for the first time as Francis lay dying.
