Simply Prayer: Care of Creation

  • St. Francis Center for Renewal 395 Bridle Path Road Bethlehem PA 18017 (map)

The Canticle of St. Francis — this prayer certainly sings praise and thanksgiving to God for the beauty of our earth. What an amazing gift God has given us! The sights, smells, wonder and sounds surround us daily with an awareness of God.
