On this day when pagan folks debate the merits of celebrating a famous Saint, I thought I would post about my favorite Saint and my namesake.

My middle name is Francis after Saint Francis.

Very nice. Thank you.

I've had similar thoughts about the Donovan song as well, though there is much depth in the Canticle you've posted.

Brother Sun, Sister Moon

Brother Sun and Sister Moon
I seldom see you seldom hear your tune
Preoccupied with selfish misery

Brother Wind and Sister Air
Open my eyes to visions pure and fair
That I may see the glory around me.

I am God's creature, of Him I am part
I feel His love awakening my heart.

Brother Sun and Sister Moon
I now do see you, I can hear your tune
So much in love with all that I survey.

Cool lyrics. Never heard the song. Will have to look for it.

Donovan sings the song in this YouTube clip, which is taken from this movie (which is in English, despite the Italian title).

I don't remember much about the movie - it's likely been well over 20 years since I've seen it.

beautiful. Francis was a powerful saint.

good pick!

So many of the Christian saints and mystics seem pagan to me.

Now I know why JiJi, who is usually shy with new folks, liked you.

Since we don't have pets anymore I probably overcompensate with friends pets. I am glad JiJi was nice to me.

St. Francis seems to fit you very well. Your community activism is one of the things I most respect you for.
