The Blessing of the Animals. Yes, We Can All Just Get Along
Benny Bix went to church tonight and was blessed as part of a special ceremony conducted in remembrance of St. Francis of Assisi’s love for all creatures. Benny's Jewish, but a blessing never hurt anybody.
It was a wonderful sight to see the church filled with dogs, cats, parrots, pigeons, a ferret or two, all in close quarters.
No animal barked, hissed, growled, or peed on the floor. It's like there's an unwritten animal code that says "Be cool man, you're in a holy place."
