  | | OCTOBER 4, 2015 |  | | World of animals | Recently, I wrote about the importance of not forgetting that humans are also animals. The other side of that is to remember that animals have a lot to teach us. We may be different species and breeds, but what we all have in common is the ability to communicate through energy.
Oct. 4 is the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, celebrated with the blessing of the animals, since he is their patron saint. It is also World Animal Day, started in 1931 in Florence, Italy — appropriate, since St. Francis is patron saint of that country as well.
The purpose of World Animal Day is to improve welfare standards around the globe, particularly to protect those animals that are vulnerable and endangered. This recalls the words of another Francis, the Pope, when he spoke at the White House in the U.S. a couple of weeks ago: "I would like all men and women of good will... to support the efforts of the international community to protect the vulnerable in our world."
Animals in our world are vulnerable because we don't take the time to listen to them... |  | | | | © Copyright 2015 Cesar's Way, Inc. All rights reserved.  | |
