From a news article about the activities of Pope Francis I:


Alessandro Forlani, a visually impaired journalist for Italian RAI radio, approached the pope with his seeing eye dog Asia.

"He has a special relationship with creation in the spirit of St. Francis," Forlani said afterward. "I asked for a blessing for my wife and daughter at home. He added 'a blessing for the dog too' and bent down to bless it."

Oh, how sweet! <3 Episcopal churches sometimes celebrate the Feast of St. Francis with the blessing of the animals, and people will bring their pets. It's really neat.

I've been meaning to ask if you're the sweetheart who sent me a subscription to Family Circle magazine? It started showing up out of the blue and I've really been enjoying it.

It wasn't me--but I'm glad to hear someone else has rewarded you for your many sterling qualities!

Also, we have a couple people who regularly bring their dogs with them to services.

A church that allows dogs is A-plus in my book. :) Although Rosie would be a nice demonstration of what demonic possession looks like if I brought her.
