Quote of the Day – 1 September – Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C and The 5th World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation

Dear mother earth, who day by day
Unfolds rich blessing on our way,
O praise God!   Alleluia!
The fruits and flowers that verdant grow,
Let them His praise abundant show.
O praise God, O praise God,
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

St Francis of Assisi (c 1181-1226)
