The Canticle of Brother Sun: From Contemplation to the Care of Creation
with: Fra Stefano De Cao
Order of Friars Minor of Varazze
The Canticle of the Creatures, a hymn of love that Saint Francis addresses to creation, is more relevant than ever. It carries a message of brotherhood and respect for nature, which alone can open perspectives of hope and salvation for our planet, where all creatures are interconnected.
The culture of care as a path to peace; the safeguarding of creation as a cultural, spiritual, and educational challenge; Francis’ “dance of praise” as a poetic antidote to the prevailing sadness in our society.
Brother Stefano contributed to the design of a six-episode podcast "Through the Eyes of Francis", produced by the Franciscan Festival on the occasion of the 800th anniversary of the Canticle's composition. It was relaunched last May on the Rai Play Sound digital platform.
