________________________________
Saint Francis is well known as the patron saint of animals, but here we are focusing on exotic animals and the people who study and care for them, such as zoo keepers who take care of God’s incredible creatures from all over the world, so that people have a chance to see living examples of beautiful animals they would otherwise never come in contact with in their lifetime. Herpetologists study and care for exotic reptiles such as snakes and lizards. Some of these can be quite dangerous and require great respect. We pray that Saint Francis, with his great love for all creatures, watch over these brave people who work with these beautiful animals. Working with exotic animals is an art within itself, and takes special people who imitate Saint Francis' love for all of God's creatures, no matter how dangerous they might be.
His feast day is October 4.
