（撰文：鄭辰艷）
一本精緻的書，《Brother Sun, Sister Moon．Saint Francis of Assisi’s Canticle of the Creatures》，農曆新年前讀這本美麗的書，心裡會充滿著對世界、對宇宙，濃濃的愛。
書中的詩句充滿感恩，寫滿了美好的事物，而這些是要對世界、對宇宙充滿了想像、好奇，才能寫成的。
下面摘錄了最好的幾段詩句。
關於原諒的，我們何其需要別人的包容和原諒，叫大家感到溫暖：
“We praise you for the ones among us
who forgive those who have wronged them
in the same spirit as you constantly forgive us.
And for those who must bear in this life sickness
and trial,
we ask for the comfort of your everlasting arms.”
關於憎恨和戰爭的，我們何其需要鼓勵，叫大家相處和睦：
“We praise you that in this world of hatred and war,
you still give us courageous brothers and sisters who offer their lives to the making of peace.
They are indeed your beloved children.”
關於死亡的，我們何其需要知道萬物有終極時，叫大家心存真愛：
” And, though we often fear her,
we praise you for our Sister Death,
who will usher us at last into your loving presence,
where we will know and love you as you have always known and loved us,”
其實，整本書滿是充滿美妙句子，看著看著，人也會靜下來，變得沉靜的美！
無論在何地，是何人，有何背景，願意我們的心，常存這份美好……
相信這份美好！
