Novena to St Francis
This novena is a song of penitence and praise, guiding us to care for the earth and for our most vulnerable sisters and brothers. This is a series of nine reflections asking St Francis of Assisi to pray for us and our world, based on his beautiful Canticle of the Sun. Use these video prayers over nine days or at nine moments of personal prayer. Download the PDF color booklet here.
