Aw, c'mon, why not?

St. Francis preached to the animals, and one of St. Anthony of Padua's miracles involved a horse kneeling before the Blessed Sacrament.

C'mon, grit your teeth and pray for the boy. Or ask St. Anthony to pray for him.

...a horse kneeling before the Blessed Sacrament.

Were I a Christian, I'd think that sacrilege.

With so much human suffering in the world, that I should dedicate prayer to a horse that isn't even mine? That doesn't even pull a plow?

Though perhaps a short one that the animal might not suffer. But so a horse might breed?

No thanks.
