Our prayers for all animals continue to circle the earth, to uplift humanity's consciousness, and to bless the animals themselves. Thank you for joining people around the world who are praying this prayer in many different languages but all with the same love:

"COMPASSION ENCIRCLES THE EARTH FOR ALL BEINGS EVERYWHERE"
Greetings of love and gratitude from Judy Carman

Our Mission--To Help People Experience Love For All:  The famous environmentalist, Thomas Berry, wrote—
 

 
Although he was speaking of the earth, his plea applies perfectly to animals as well. A recent study showed that test subjects were more likely to go vegan when they learned that animals have emotions, love each other, play, and care for each other, than when they were shown pictures of animals suffering. So one of our tasks is to help people experience the sacred spirit, the Divine Mystery, and the love and joy that animals feel; indeed, to help them see how very like us, animals are.  In fact, if Berry’s statement is accurate, human beings must learn to love animals before they can stop using and eating them.

The Worldwide Season of Love is With Us Now:  Wherever we go over the next few weeks we will see and hear prayers, pleas, greeting cards, and songs envisioning Love and Peace.  It is the time of year when many people rekindle their hope for a world without war and hunger. This week let us focus laser-like on the vision that, during this heart-opening time of year, people all over the world will have a personal experience of an animal’s love, personality, and sacredness. In our vision let us imagine it happening in many different ways—perhaps in a visit to an animal sanctuary or perhaps it will be a chance encounter with a cow looking into their eyes or a pig gently caring for her babies or a couple of rabbits playing gleefully with each other in the snow.  And as we envision these events, let us see an energy field of love surrounding the person and the animal they are seeing.  As that happens, they both become in synch with the universe and with the deep longing for connection that dwells within us all.  In our vision, we can see a beam of light from the person’s heart to the animal’s heart.  And because we are one with these beautiful, sacred people and animals, our hearts fill with ecstasy as we bear witness to these miracles. Know that, because of your dedication and your compassion, this is happening right now.  

As always, I send my thanks to each of you for joining this circle of compassion and shining the Light of Truth for all to see, so that one day soon, all beings will live in peace together.

With Love, peace, and gratitude from Judy, and Will, Madeleine, and the Circle of Compassion team.
