St. Francis certainly demonstrated radical goodness when it
came to understanding Holy Mother Nature and our connection to it. He loved all
of nature from the trees to the sun, moon & stars, to the birds and the
insects below and he would often call them brothers sun and sister moon. Francis
of Assisi encouraged his listeners in this way: “first do what is necessary,
then do what is possible, and before long you will find yourself doing the
impossible.” We have all come from nature and shall return back to nature let
us use nature by sustaining and nourishing all that nourishes us.
