“Canticle of the Sun,” by St. Francis of Assisi, and Joseph Smith’s “Olive Leaf”
One of the last things we did at the seminar with Bernard McGinn this past weekend was read through and discuss Saint Francis of Assisi's poem and religious song Canticle of the Sun. McGinn considers this to be a very mystical text from Francis, as Francis seems to see God powerfully in and throughout the whole of creation, including in the sun, moon, stars, Earth, etc. McGinn noted that it is a kind of nature mysticism. Francis wrote most of it in the year 1224, and the last few lines in 1226 just before his death.
A Divine “Celebration of Life” in The Greatest Showman’s Soundtrack!
My wife, Raven, and I went to see the film The Greatest Showman, starring Hugh Jackman, a week ago.

The Life, the Joy, the Light. I believe these are reflections of the Divine within us all.
