Wordy Wednesday - Blessing of the Pets

Last week was the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi.  As you know, Mom always takes us to get blessed.  We usually go to Patrick Air Force Base but this year they didn't do it because they do not have a priest right now.  Mom decided it was too far to go to our own church so we went to one closer to home.  Holy Name of Jesus is only 3 miles as opposed to our Church which is closer to 14 miles.

Mom was a bit concerned about Noelle since her only other trip in the PTU was when we evacuated.  THIS happened when we got about half a block from home and only got worse.  By the time we were almost to A1A (about 1/2 mile) Noelle was in such a panic and panting that Mom turned around to take her home.

           


Mom took this REALLY LOUSY photo of us waiting to be blessed.  There were TONS of dogs barking the whole time and only 3 other cats.


Mom took a video of the actual Blessing.  It's a little hard to hear because of the wind and barking dogs but you can see how well attended it was.


           

True to form, Raz kept his title as PTU Pooper!  We didn't even make it TO the Blessing when he earned it!  Fortunately, Mom puts wee wee pads in his PTU so it's an easy cleanup!


We went up to Father Scott to thank him after the blessing was over and Mom told him Allie was 17.  He said that deserved a special blessing so we got blessed twice!  Pretty cool, huh?

    We are glad you got blessed. That's really neat that the priest gave you both a special blessing, Raz and Allie. We are sorry Noelle was so scared that she missed out. :(

    For so many years, many religions didn't treat animals as sentient beings. It's terrific that Father Scott blessed everybody; with two legs and four!
