Holy Mary, Mother of Creation, bless us that we may experience God as Love
in praise of all creatures, in love of all of creation.  Amen.

We share the fruit of life through you,
O daughter blessed by the Lord.

Canticle of Saint Francis

Most High, all powerful, good Lord
Yours are the praises, the glory, the honor and all blessing.
To You alone, Most high, do they belong,
and no one is worthy to mention Your name.

Praise be You, my Lord, with all Your creatures,
especially Sir Brother Sun,
who is the day through whom you give us light,
and he is beautiful and radiant with great splendor,
and bears a likeness to You, Most High.

Praised be You, my Lord,
through Sister Moon and the stars,
in heaven you formed them
clear and precious and beautiful.

Praised be You, my Lord, through Brother Wind,
and through the air, cloudy and serene,
and every kind of weather through which
You give sustenance to your creatures.

Praised be you, my Lord, through Sister Water,
which is very useful and humble
and precious and chaste.

Praised be You, my Lord, through Brother Fire,
through whom You light the night
and he is beautiful and playful
and robust and strong.

Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Mother Earth
who sustains and governs us,
and who produces varied fruits
with colored flowers and herbs.

Praised by You, my Lord, through those
who forgive for Your love
and bear infirmity and tribulation.

Blessed are those who live in peace,
for by You, Most High, they shall be crowned.

Praised be You, my Lord, through our Sister Bodily Death,
from whom no living person can escape.
Woe to those who die in mortal sin.

Blessed are those who death will find in Your Holy Will,
for the second death will not harm them.

Praise and bless my Lord
and give Him thanks
and serve Him with great humility.
