The Canticle of Brother Sun
"Yes, and praise to you, my Lord, through Brother Fire.
Through him you illumine our night.
And he is handsome and merry, robust and strong." --St. Francis
Besides illuminating the night, fire warms us and cooks our food. It is also used to refine and strengthen metals. And who doesn't like to sit by a cozy fire on a cold winter's night listening to the crackling and whistling of the wood as the flames flicker and dance about. Yes, there is much to be praised for God's gift of fire.
