MATTHEW 28: 16-20
Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
In this peaceful prayer experience we slow down and learn to notice God in the world around us: the light, the air, the quiet, the beauty we often pass by. Inspired by St. Francis’ deep love for creation, this prayer gently weaves together Scripture and the Canticle of the Creatures to help you reconnect with God in a simple, grounded way.
SCRIPTURE
- Psalm 19
“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.”
Canticle of the Creatures
by St. Francis of Assisi
Most High, all-powerful, good Lord,
Yours are the praises, the glory, the honor, and all blessing.
Praised be You, my Lord,
through Brother Sun,
who brings the day and gives us light.
He is beautiful and radiant with great splendor;
of You, Most High, he bears the likeness.
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,
so useful, humble, precious, and pure.
Praised be You, my Lord,
through Brother Fire,
through whom You light the night.
He is beautiful and playful and robust and strong.
Praised be You, my Lord,
through our Sister Mother Earth,
who sustains and governs us,
and who produces varied fruits with colored flowers and herbs.
SCRIPTURE
- John 16:22
"But I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you."
REFLECTION

MUSIC
- Psalm 63- Francesca LaRosa
- Jesu, Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring (Lyrics) sung by Josh Grobin
1. Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring
Holy wisdom, love most bright
2. Drawn by Thee our souls aspiring
Soar to uncreated light
3. Word of God, our flesh that fashioned.
With the fire of life impassioned.
Striving still to truth unknown
Soaring, dying round Thy throne
4. Through the way where hope is guiding,
Hark, what peaceful music rings.
5. Where the flock in Thee confiding,
Drink of joy from deathless springs.
6. Theirs is beauty’s fairest pleasure,
Theirs is wisdom’s holiest treasure.
Thou dost ever lead Thine own,
In the love of joys unknown.
