Product Description
This charming yet deeply devotional solid bronze St. Francis of Assisi with Animals Plaque, highlights his rapport with animals and his gentleness. As the namesake of Pope Francis, we can see much in the humble dedication to poverty and deep spirituality of St. Francis’ life that are rejuvenating the world of Christianity today.
Profound Simplicity
This 5 x 4 inch plaque features a simply elegant style of casting, eschewing extreme detail for contours that express the profound simplicity of nature, which Francis found so appealing. The plaque is made of solid bronze, delicately textured, with the plants and animals seeming to burst from the plaque. The scene itself reflects the words from St. Francis’ famous “Canticle of the Sun” (see the “history” tab for words). The St. Francis of Assisi plaque is hand-made in Germany, reflecting the spirituality of the artist.
A Gift to Celebrate Nature, Pope Francis, and St. Francis
This plaque is extremely versatile. It can be mounted on any wall, or placed on a desk or nightstand. Because of this versatility and the broad appeal of St. Francis, his views on nature and poverty, and his inspiration to Pope Francis, the plaque makes for a great gift for nearly any occasion.
Canticle of the Sun
English Translation:
Most high, all powerful, all good Lord!
All praise is Yours, all glory, all honor, and all blessing.
To You, alone, Most High, do they belong.
No mortal lips are worthy to pronounce Your name.
Be praised, my Lord, through all Your creatures,
especially through my lord Brother Sun,
who brings the day; and You give light through him.
And he is beautiful and radiant in all his splendor!
Of You, Most High, he bears the likeness.
Be praised, my Lord, through Sister Moon and the stars;
in the heavens You have made them bright, precious and beautiful.
Be praised, my Lord, through Brothers Wind and Air,
and clouds and storms, and all the weather,
through which You give Your creatures sustenance.
Be praised, my Lord, through Sister Water;
she is very useful, and humble, and precious, and pure.
Be praised, my Lord, through Brother Fire,
through whom You brighten the night.
He is beautiful and cheerful, and powerful and strong.
Be praised, my Lord, through our sister Mother Earth,
who feeds us and rules us,
and produces various fruits with colored flowers and herbs.
Be praised, my Lord, through those who forgive for love of You;
through those who endure sickness and trial.
Happy those who endure in peace,
for by You, Most High, they will be crowned.
Be praised, my Lord, through our sister Bodily Death,
from whose embrace no living person can escape.
Woe to those who die in mortal sin!
Happy those she finds doing Your most holy will.
The second death can do no harm to them.
Praise and bless my Lord, and give thanks,
and serve Him with great humility
