Happy Solstice !


In observation of this lovely day, we cite the observations of our friend Francis.

~  ~  ~

Laudato sie, mi Signore cum tucte le Tue creature,
spetialmente messor lo frate Sole,
lo qual è iorno, et allumini noi per lui.
Et ellu è bellu e radiante cum grande splendore:
de Te, Altissimo, porta significatione.

  4. OK OK. Here's a rough-&-ready rendering:

    Thank you, Lord, for Brother Sun.
    He warms us till the day is done.
    With joy we gaze upon his face,
    the image of Thy perfect grace.

    Amen.
