St. Francis - Brother Sun, Sister Moon - Song

The song of St. Francis from the movie "Brother Sun, Sister Moon"

[@lillianmedellin3296]

This scene fills my soul. I am currently undergoing a process to become a nun in the third order of St.Francis with the Poor Clares.

[@simonmasters3295]

Good luck with that

[@kamandbeefunfamily]

May God be with you.

[@lillianmedellin3296]

Thank you both ☺️God bless you

[@lyallist]

May God go with you

[@gauranga1008]

Wow, that's rare nowadays, isn't it? How many new nuns and monks do join them.? All the best! God bless you. I am monk too. Hare Krishna...

Last night this movie saved me. Netflix had recommended a movie about a woman who was demonically possessed. I started watching it and started to get depressed. Then out of nowhere I shut it off and remembered that I owned Brother Sun Sister Moon, but hadn't seen it in years. I started watching it instead and soon I found myself crying and sobbing. The purity, innocence, light, and beauty of this movie lifted my spirit and I was overwhelmed with a great joy. I feel better today than I have in months. We are being bombarded 24/7 with fear and the demonically possessed are everywhere in MSM, government, and the arts. I will no longer participate in their dark game and brainwashing. I am changing the type of movies I watch and what type of music I listen. I just bought the soundtrack to this wonderful film and am listening to Donovan sing the beautiful songs he wrote for this film. We will get through this folks. Focus on light, not darkness and you will see a BIG change in your life.

Franchesco is actually the most mystical person in Christian World after Jesus. He came as a second Jesus to change the medieval world which was in serious crisis. Many call him a 13th Apostle of Christ. So his influence even via movies is really mystical and strong too. We will need him always as we need Jesus in our souls. God bless!

[@HolyKhaaaaan]

Thank you for sharing that. It's hard for me to always see the good, as I tend to be melancholic, but you are right. We have a hope. And even if we don't know where things are going or why things change, He is unchanging. "Why art thou so heavy o my soul, and why art thou so disquieted within me? O put thy trust in God, for I will yet give him thanks, which is the help of my countenance, and my God." -Psalm 43: 5-6.

[@jaciragaldino2587]

Só beautiful... The song and the film are unforgettable. I saw this film in 1972 when I was 17. Next month I'm going to 67 and the memories are still alive in my heart.

[@Dan-jj2vr]

After being a Christian for 32 years I have finally found God. There was always a subtle beauty in this song but now that God is in my heart I also understand it and because of this the song's beauty has grown for me. Thank you for taking the time to read my message. God bless you and keep you

[@inGODWETRUST5203]

I was in Assisi many years ago. It was amazing like time stood still. His presense is still there. In the church the doves would fly on the statue in his hands.

[@robertm7071]

I agree. I visited Assisi in 1983 and the sense of peace felt there was unlike anything I had felt anywhere else.. Sadly, years of ill-health have prevented me from returning.

[@jjoyjohnson72]

I visited in 2003 & I felt the same way. It was as though I could hear this song during my stay there wherever I went. And when I went down into St. Francis tomb--deep/deep peace.

[@elf350]

I used to listen to this every night before I went to sleep when I was younger

[@staceyking7911]

I presume singing this lovely tune keeps away demonic energies 😮🙏🎶🎻❌👿

[@euklid216]

i am an agnostic and absolutely love this song. the movie was pretty inspiring as well.

[@jlmadill]

I am an atheist and yet I can still live and learn by the lessons of St. Francis. His message is humble, and true.

Why do you call you yourself atheist then?

[@michaelfebbert737]

I absolutely agree!

[@singing4hope]

I wish humans will always be simple like this. Why so competitive, and ending up destroying the environment and tarnish humanity? It's also happening in churches, everyone trying to be better than the other, rather than supporting each other in sincere prayer.

[@anrox____x282]

One thing this movie truly captured was the immense freedom Francis felt when he followed the steps of Christ and chose the simplicity of life over the material one. I can say that it was Francis of Assisi that first showed me God and Christ in a way that made it understandable as a child. This movie really made me interested in Francis of Assisi, and Francis led me to better understand God.

[@XX-gy7ue]

Anro X____X , SAINT FRANCIS IN HIS BEING , IS A GIFT FROM GOD TO EARTH !

[@angeortizfelix5410]

I hope he have to he want to be her she says she even want to know where any clothes but his father and getting mad with him because he's doing something wrong. He wanted serving God with all its soul on was a beautiful movie from the beginning his star and like it s picture actor on he won two great day he say the brother song of the Sith them on know what's the moon has a sister but the song is half its only shine got in the middle of the day he says Sunshine for every nation the sunshine is God a mighty Lord Jesus is the song I wish you could see the whole movie because was Betty like a bear expressive in the word for God the who believe in God that he can make it better than everybody Walking with God brother

[@annamariecaruana7956]

I had the same exact experience...I saw it as a young teen and it had a profound and lasting affect on me and to my understanding of God through the simplicity and perfection and beauty of nature. And also gave me a life-long love of St Francis and his writings. A beautiful movie.

[@arayanbulur585]

brother Francis is in heaven right now and he is shining like a star on the sky of Church.

[@gina928]

I saw this movie in the theater when it first came out. Still makes me cry.

[@robertm7071]

He truly tried to live the life of Christ and what a beautiful example he has left us. No theological dogma, just love, the core of Christ's teaching.

[@rickylamare.]

As a young woman I would frequent the monastery on special days. I remember the monks played this movie for visitors. It stays close to my heart.

[@karendeppe2275]

He was such a wonderful man. A special soul. My favourite saint.

[@KARENCRAFTJP]

Brother Sun and Sister Moon Brother Sun and Sister Moon, I seldom see you, seldom hear your tune Preoccupied with selfish misery. Brother Wind and Sister Air, Open my eyes to visions pure and fair. That I may see the glory around me. I am God's creature, of him I am a part I feel his love awaking in my heart Brother Sun and Sister Moon I now do see you, I can hear your tune So much in love with all that I survey

[@aidanpidgeon364]

I saw this little church last Wednesday and Thursday in Assisi absolutely an amazing experience, I'm a capuchin Franciscan third order and it makes you more emotional 😭 seeing the last part, seeing the character of Saint Francis seeing the St Francis Cross which is in the Basilica of St Clare in Assisi.

[@MsEva19811]

I haven't seen more beautiful movie. This is such a great film! Bravissimo Zeffirelli :-)

[@constancemartin1102]

Zeffirelli is a fabulous director!! In the late '60s he directed Romeo & Juliet on location in Italy and it was wonderful!! :)

[@ivywallace4079]

Now you are lying..! There was perhaps one - The Ten Commandments by Cecile De Mille!

Let us praise God from sunrise to sunset....

[@richyaxl1151]

It really makes me tear up so much at 2:42 I can really see when our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ calls out to St. Francis to follow Him. Just like He did with His Apostles. I can seriously hear Jesus Christ telling Francis "Follow me, Francis". So beautiful and powerful. A powerful reminder that God can call us to follow Him through anything and even in the most humblest of things in our own lives. We just have to be willing to listen.

[@joebarbara7648]

Will always remember Franco Zeffirelli. Rest in gentle peace. June 15, 2019

[@robertorodrigues916]

St. Francis is a great example of life. Donovan is fantastic.

[@jaiz81]

Isnt just a coincidence, i just browse it here in youtube just bcoz i wanted to hear the song, i just type Brother Sun & Sister Moon. Ive seen this movie wayback 3 yrs ago, everytime ive watch this movie it inspires me a lot to cope up my frustrations & depression. i never thought what exactly the FeastDay of St. Francis all i know it was on the month of October, thank u guys for letting me remind of. The lifestory of St. Francis inspires me to keep my faith strong! To God be the Glory ! ! !

[@jmjmrs]

I hope God rewards him in eternity. May he rest in peace. It's very hard to capture spirituality in movies but this one comes close.

[@theinigosilvastation6232]

I adore St. Francis’ obedience and love for Christ as he gave up all his wealth and became poor yet contented and rich with God’s love. That His love is already enough.💕 St. Francis is my favorite Saint, along with the other Saints who followed his steps towards Christ like St. Padre Pio and one friar, Father Suarez, St. Francis’ friend. 💕 St. Francis of Assisi, Pray for us.🙏🏻

I first saw this in about 1976, while I was part of a small Christian fellowship in Miami that, unfortunately, gravitated toward the direction of the Waco Texas cult and finally disbanded in about 1991. It was as moving an experience then as it is today. A beautiful production!

I also first viewed this film as a 15-year old student. The song stuck with me. It wasn't until many, many years later, upon hearing the song again that I recognized the singer as Donovan (having not known of him as a kid). Great film and song!

[@faunwillow]

❤St. Francis of Assisi: Make me an instrument of your peace Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen. ❤❤❤❤

[@vwbug-sq5rx]

This movie has been one of the pivotal moments in my life. By it, I didn't become a monk or join the Catholic Church, but I gained a perspective of our Lord's influence on all things right and holy. The songs may sound corny to some viewers, but they are the force behind the major transformation of Brother Francis. The papal scenes were a part of Brother Francis' desire to know the truth, whether he had done anything to upset the Father. After all, who did he have in his life as a mentor. No one. There wasn't a truly spiritual person in his entire village to help guide him in spiritual matters as he began his work to build that old chapel, San Damiano. Nevertheless, look what it became under his guidance and loving care of God's lowly sons and daughters. He and his brothers had drawn in all the poor, showing as Jesus did, that it is more blessed to give than to receive. The Spirit of God was revealing Himself to Francis God's heart, with an outpouring of His Holy Spirit, displayed by his pure and kind acts toward mankind. I love how well this movie shows the deepest need in today's churches, to die to oneself and to live for others. It is very well exemplified by Sister Clare's confession to Francis, "I don't want to understand, I want to understand. I don't want to be loved, I want to love." What a most profound heavenly vision that is. It is not as greatly imparted to all who believe in Christ, yet it remains a very special spiritual gift, and in Clare was rooted deeply in her soul. I will forever return to this movie when In need of a perspective that is Christ's alone. It is not mixed with the battling of doctrinal issues prevalent among today's Christian sects, but instead, is a true awakening of the very nature of God. I applaud the producer and cast director for all their many choices to bring about such a wonderfully living experience, compelled initially by the disillusionment of war, but furthered by Brother Francis' insistence to find the truth. His conversion, once he believed, was the catalyst through which the populace viewed his actions and achievements, not for his own glory, but for the glory of God. Truly the top event, IMO, was introduced by the hands of the misunderstood. Francis was being pushed far away from the Catholic Church of that time. It was characterized by a very weak view of Christ's mission. In so many movies today, all that can be seen are the representatives of the clergy portrayed as being nothing more than weaklings, with no depth of character, men void of answers, and fearful of questions. Evil onlookers wanted the brethren to be broken into pieces, to prove to Francis' small group that it is impossible to live the true meaning of the gospel. The men surrounding the Pope were thinking Francis could be used to return the lowly to the Catholic church through their works such as the giving of tithes, which is what one of the self-righteous men on the sidelines of the Pope's cabinet was referring to when he said the Pope knew what he was doing when he bent down to kiss the feet of Francis. To that self-serving deacon, Francis' arrival was a step necessary to bring back to the Catholic Church the low class, naïve, spiritually vulnerable, and little educated brothers and sisters. Bringing them back to the Church would keep the Pope exalted. As it was a day not yet revitalized by the revelation of grace, Francis, with his following underlings, a band of understudied and lesser advanced, brothers, grew despite the lack of Christian universities. Instead, it was purely through the inworkings of the Spirit of God that they were doing good deeds and transforming in character. Again, I applaud the entire cast and leadership for bringing us the best of the heart of God.

i am not catholic, but this film touched me when I was 16 and still touches me now that i am 49. the pope and all the members of the vatican should more often watch what simple christianity apart from trying to inherit gold and diamonds from old people for the church can do for people's lives. greetings from austria

This film is so respectful of medieval people, showing them as like us in fundamental ways but also different because of the social and religious institutions and beliefs they navigated.
