A prayer notebook inspired by the Canticle of the Creatures
Inspired by the Canticle of the Creatures, “JOY for God: Journey of Yearning” has been published. This prayer notebook, with short texts, questions, and contemplative art, guides us to recognize God’s presence in our brother Sun and sister Moon, in the stars, in the wind, in water, in fire, and in our sister Mother Earth, until we learn to embrace – without fear – our sister Death, who reveals the essential and opens us to Life. The work is designed for prayer in retreat or on a journey, with family or parish, and arises from the desire to help us write our own “story with God,” starting from our received identity: being loved, called to peace, dialogue, and the care of our common home. For this reason, page after page, the “Praise be to you, my Lord” flows forth again as a humble and hopeful song for our time.
This book collects the writings and artwork of Br. Robin Toha, OFM, of the Custody of Saint Anthony (Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei), whose writings and meditations are inspired by the prayer and charism of the Friars Minor. From his fraternal and pastoral experience, Br. Robin offers a journey that helps us contemplate, give thanks, and reconcile, turning joy into a concrete service and beauty into a path to God.
