Il Cantico delle Creature




Hymn to Brother Sun
Canticle of the Creatures
The prayer by St. Francis of Assisi

Highest, omnipotent good Lord!
Yours are the praises, the glory, and the honour
And all blessing
To you, alone, Most High, do they belong.
No human lips are worthy
To pronounce Your name.

Praised be You, my Lord with all Your creatures
Especially our brother, Master Sun
Who brings the day and the light
that warms us he that is beautiful and radiant
In all his splendour!
He brings meaning of You, O Most High..

Praised be You, my Lord
For Sister Moon and the Stars;
In the heavens You have made them
Precious and beautiful.
Praised be You, my Lord
Through Brothers Wind
And air, and clouds and storms,
And all the weather,
Through which You give sustenance Your creatures.

Praised be You, my Lord

For Sister Water;
So very useful, and humble
And precious, and chaste.
Praised be You, my Lord
For Brother Fire,
Through whom you brighten the night.
He who is beautiful and gay
And vigorous and strong.

Praised be You, my Lord
For our sister Mother Earth
Who feeds and governs us,
And produces various fruits
And coloured flowers and plants
Praised be You, my Lord
For those who forgive out of love for You;
And endure sickness and trial.
Happy those who endure in peace
For by you, Most High, they shall be crowned.

Praised be You, my Lord
For our Sister Bodily Death,
From whose embrace no living person can escape.
Woe to those who die in mortal sin!
Happy those she finds
Doing your most holy will.
The second death can do no harm to them!
Praise and bless my Lord
And give thanks
And serve him with great humility
San Francesco D'Assisi

For over 40 years Denyse was a loved member of the Bonney family. Our family shared many occasions together. We had such great holidays camping and picnicking with the children. Weddings, birthdays and Christmas days. You will be missed but always remembered. Jacqui Dimes ( née Bonney)
