Ellsberg family: Animals have never left the presence of God. The presence of God has never left us! Picture below Bled through the rock on the feast of St Francis, the day after burying Trinity, the family Yorkie: "The 'Trinity Stone' ". His presence Bleeds through all Creation.

Such good words. As one dear friend said to me years ago, "Rats are the best kept secret of the pet world." Love them, and remember our many rat pups fondly.

Strangely soothing.

Amen... and I would gladly welcome Christina as a deacon concelebrant at daily Mass—providing a fabulous homily.
