Yesterday was the feast of St. Francis of Assisi. Francis was a healer, seeing to bring the church into a closer union with Christ.

For Evensong this week, I turn to Francis' words of praise in stead of a quiet hymn. We need Francis' and his way of expressing what "it's really all about" them this weekend.

My thanks to the CJCLDS's Mormon Tabernacle Choir for uplifting us this evening.

Evensong from the BBC was recorded in Westminster Abbey, Wednesday, the 300th anniversary of the death of John Blow. This week's Evensong is particularly lovely.
