When Madeline Finn attends the Blessing of the Animals with Bonnie and
Star, she learns that everyone has a gift inside, which they can share
with the world. And one way that Madeline Finn can share her blessing is
with the animals at her local shelter.
It's a special day! Madeline Finn is taking Bonnie and Star to the
Blessing of the Animals. When they arrive, they see dogs and cats.
There's even a goat!
Madeline Finn watches closely as the Reverend Mary Alice spends time
with every animal, giving each one their very own blessing.
"How do you know what to say?" Madeline Finn wants to know.
"Everyone has a blessing inside," Miss Mary explains. "A special gift to
share with the world."
When Madeline Finn receives a blessing all her own, she has a new
mission: finding the blessings in others. Surely, the furry and feathery
residents at her local animal shelter have lots of special gifts to
share. They just need someone to believe in them--someone to set those
blessings free.
