To You alone, Most High, do they belong,
and no man is worthy to mention Your name.

 Praise be You, my Lord, through Sister Moon and the stars,  

in heaven you formed them clear and precious and beautiful.

Praised be You, my Lord, through Brother Wind,  

and through the air, cloudy and serene,  

and every kind of weather through which
You give sustenance to Your creatures.

Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Water,
which is very useful and humble and precious and chaste.

Praised be You, my Lord, through Brother Fire,
through whom you light the night  

and he is beautiful and playful and robust and strong.

Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Mother Earth,
who sustains us and governs us  

and who produces varied fruits with colored flowers and herbs.

Praised be You, my Lord, through those who give pardon for Your love,
and bear infirmity and tribulation.

Blessed are those who endure in peace
for by You, Most High, they shall be crowned.

Praised be You, my Lord, through our Sister Bodily Death,
from whom no living man can escape.

Woe to those who die in mortal sin.
Blessed are those whom death will find in Your most holy willl,
for the second death shall do them no harm.

Praise and bless my Lord,  

and give Him thanks
and serve Him with great humility.

AMEN
