I will be starting a new blog on Catholicism and the environment in the next few days.
"Green Canticle" will report and comment on how Catholics around the world are making the protection of their environment a part of the practice of their faith.
The inspiration for the name came from a few sources: St. Augustine - "To sing is to pray twice;" and the "Canticle of the Sun" by St. Francis of Assisi. This prayer, a paean to all creation, is one of the loveliest prayers anywhere to be found.
Green is the liturgical color of life and renewal. It is also the color of the environmental movement.
Somehow, and so right, images from a favorite song since high school - Scarborough Fair/Canticle by Simon and Garfunkel - made their appearance in the final design.
On the side of a hill in the deep forest green
Parsley sage rosemary and thyme
Tell her to find me an acre of land
On the side of a hill a sprinkling of leaves
