The sun (I)

As a Franciscan, talks about the sun, really must remember the works of our founder, St.Francis - "The Canticle of Brother Sun". This is the first poem written by Italian in the history. Schools in Italy, still take this poem as their literature teaching materials. However, what it attracts people is the deepest spiritual sentiment that it reveals, more than seven centuries, countless of souls are deeply attracted and to be followers.

In poetry, Francis called the sun as brother, moon as sister. It's so romance, so pretty. In his eyes, God the creator is the Father of all, human and all creatures of course are all in one. It's undoubtedly that he had achieved the state of "world and my parallel intergrowth, myriad things and I am one". Even as terror as death, Francis also called it as sister. Because through her, man returns to the embrace of God.

You must not say that you have not got the same experience of spirituality of St.Francis. To find a morning and take a walk in the soft sunshine, feeling its soothing warmth; close your eyes, experience the light infiltrates your innermost. Then, if you wish, why not say thanks to the sun.
