**********************
Octonrt 3 is observed by many as the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, a man born into wealth, who died October 3, 1226, and who threw up his wealthy heritage to become a monk and the founder of the Order of St. Francis, the women's Order of St. Clare, and the Third Order of St. Francis, The Little Flowers of St. Francis, compiled anonymously near the end of the 14th century, is a compendium of his sayings and stories of his life and is still in print.
Famous not only for his love of peace and his ascetic life practice, but also for his love of Creation, he is now best known as the Patron Saint of Animals and the Environment. Many churches around the globe will be holding a "Blessing of the Animals" service this weekend to honour this much-loved saint.
The following is a musical adaptation of the Canticle of the Sun, believed to have been written by Francis of Assisi late in 1224 A.D.
There are two ways to live your life:
one is as though nothing is a miracle;
the other, as if everything is a miracle.
