As security protocol called for, sniff dogs were taken into the chapel ahead of John Paul II and they were lead up and down all the pews in the building. Finding all of them free of humans, the dogs were then led to the front of the chapel where they all stopped and pointed to the Tabernacle, indicating that they sensed a Human within. They would not leave the Tabernacle until called off by their handlers. At least ten security guards were witness to this.
When I read this post on our church’s bulletin board, a chill went up my spine. I will make sure that I pay more attention when I pass in front of our Tabernacle, which is just to the side of our church’s altar. I have, of late, gotten a bit careless and inattentive, taking Jesus’ Presence for granted. I am somewhat ashamed that it has taken a group of dogs to remind me of the reality of God's constant Presence in my church!

wow!!!
beyond words.....
thanks for the reminder that we all need at times.
A wonderful reminder. Thanks for that.
The same thing once happened with St. Anthony in Padua, Italy. A donkey wandered into the Church where St. Anthony was in adoration, and the donkey kelt down on its front legs and stayed bowed low in adoration before the Blessed Sacrament.
God Bless!
