The heart makes everything throbb


A few years ago a friend died a dog. And because he knew I was from parish he asked me: 

George, is there a Heaven for Dogs?

It was not only the doubt he conveyed but the logical consolation he longed for. And it occurred to me to tell him about St. Francis of Asses' relationship with animals; and other Saints, who express the good Guardianship that man must make of Nature and ultimately of Creation

Can an animal raise its "thought" and reach God?

To this day it remains a question

Is Nature closer to God than human beings?

Undoubtedly, speaking broadly, on every petal of a Rose is not that God is; is that it is God who manifests himself directly

Does God keep the animals that have passed away?

To this question one day I will have the answer, surely 😀😀

Perhaps the right thing to do when there's a loss is to close your eyes and say thank you for her. Because the heart that keeps everything, even if something dies, makes it throbb

2416 Animals are God's creatures. He surrounds them with his providential care. By their mere existence they bless him and give him glory.197 Thus men owe them kindness. We should recall the gentleness with which saints like St. Francis of Assisi or St. Philip Neri treated animals.
