My card for today is inspired by a verse from the Canticle of the Creatures by Saint Francis. Today is his feastday.

"All praise be yours, my Lord,
through Brothers wind and air, and fair and stormy,
all the weather's moods,
by which you cherish all that you have made.

I pulled a card telling my why to thank God for brother wind and the air, for ( Read more... )

On this beautiful autumn day I have read the Canticle of the Sun by St. Francis of Assisi.

Something else than a difficult saying from a Desert Father. I have had plans to journal about their sayings, but they are from such another world. It is really hard to apply them to my life.

Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. 
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;

Today I have created a spread for the Dutch Tarot Magazine. I had already used it for a lesson (about the Star), but today I rewrote it a bit. The spread is to be used alongside a fioretti, a story about St. Francis. In the story St. Francis rescues doves who are being sold, probably to owners who would treat them cruelly and put them to death. St ( Read more... )
