Devotional Rhyme Talk - Episode 21

This is a modern, versified version of the original text by St Francis of Assisi, written in medieval Italian 800 years ago, in 1225. As a great mystic, St Francis calls all of nature to praise God: the sun, the moon, the wind, the fire, the water, the stars and the earth are our brothers and sisters, praising God with their natural virtues. I closely followed the English translation published by the Franciscan Fathers on their website (https://franciscanfriarscresson.org/the-canticle-of-the-sun/ ). Still, I have made it more musical and more accessible to memorise, with rhymes and cadences. The Canticle of Brother Sun is a simple and precious prayer that deserves to be memorised and kept in mind because praising God with all his creatures is always timely and appropriate. This modernised version is a passionate rendition that I hope will inspire you. Listen to it with me in prayer, and leave a comment to let me know what you think.

Canticle Of Brother Sun, by St Francis of Assisi

This morning meditation is a call to action for you to choose and reinforce your excellent and healthy intention and purpose for the day. It's a proactive step to take before the inertia of the day sets in and derails your plans. Our days are often hijacked by distractions and demands, causing us to lose sight of our true selves and our desired path. But with a little persistent attention, we can turn even the most ordinary days into something extraordinary. Let's make today, and every day, an extraordinary day!

The original text was written by Gabriel Porras and inspired by Lauren Brollier Newton's Intention Setting Meditation.

Today, I woke up with the gift of this day

A powerful reflection on choosing grace over grief, Kim Groshek's “Amazing Grace” is a soul-stirring piece that speaks to anyone who has walked through the fire of sorrow and come out with a deeper strength. In this intimate and uplifting poetic prayer, Kim reminds us that God does not avoid the valley—but walks with us through it, builds hope from rubble, and promises a place of eternal peace. Let this poem meet you where you are, and lift your spirit with the promise that grace is always greater.

Amazing Grace
