A world wide canticle, for Mother Earth

Dear Family and Friends,

St Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals and the environment,
with his famous canticle "Brother Sun, Sister Moon", expresses profound love for nature as precious gift from God.

He is probably the original Earth Day prophet.

Pope Francis, his namesake, repeatedly advocates in the strongest way for the healing of the earth, especially in his encyclical "Laudato Si'"
(which are the first words of "Brother Sun, Sister Moon" in the original Italian.)

A few months ago, St Luke Foundation in Haiti was asked by Global Music to add our voices to a worldwide call to commit to healing the earth.

We share with you our song on behalf of troubled earth, and our practical motivation to be "earthmovers" for the healing of nature, here in Haiti.

We share this with you with Easter joy, and as part of the worldwide celebration of Earthday, April 22, 2022.

Here is the song from Haiti, the combined choir of St Luke Foundation and Nos Petits Freres et Soeurs.

The songs of the nations are in this album and can be found here and here:

Have a look at the telling hashtags:

Thanks for your passion for our mother earth!

We wish you all the blessings of this Holy Season.
