Celanos Prayer to St.

Francis Blessed Father, from your place Bending down to see us here from above Hear our halting words of praise, Brokens words stammered out, but with love. Who can tell the hundred ways that your love soared above seeking God Or recount the golden days when your feet on this earth firmly trod? See your children week and wan, trudging slow after you in this vale. See our footsteps dragging on, how we limp, how we halt, how we fail. Torpid are our hearts and cold, living half dying half, torn apart, Wake us father, make us bold, give us life, give us strength, give us heart! Smarting are our eyes and face, blinded with brilliance of what we see. On your brightness as we gaze,. Dazzled at your sublime sanctity. Pray for us and in your care send among this your flock here on earth. Send the gracious sap of prayer. That we grow in your life, in your mirth. Sister Water Singing waters, springing from the mountain Joyous with the burden of new birth Moving shaping life bestowing fountain Showers bringing heaven down to earth! By the Fathers spoken word proceeding Stirring life and mirth beneath the sky In the desert Gods own children feeding Lest they thirst and lest they droop and die From the opened side of Jesus flowing Jordon for our cleansing and our life With the breath of spirit warm and glowing Bringing comfort in our human strife Flow between, around, within us Waters Cleanse, refresh us, heal our broken bond Keep Gods throng of groping sons and daughters Undivided till the day has dawned

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
