The Canticle of Brother Sun
"So, praised be you, my Lord, with all your creatures,
Especially Sir Brother Sun,
Who makes the day and enlightens us through you,
He is lovely and radiant and grand;
And he heralds you, his Most High Lord.
Praised be you, my Lord, through Sister Moon
And the stars.
You have hung them in heaven shining and precious and fair." --St. Francis
The sun is representative of God Himself since it is what the earth revolves around. It gives our planet life--light and warmth. It is necessary for plants to grow to feed us so we can survive. Its light allows us to move about without fear of stumbling just like God's light is His love and grace.
