"The busyness of the bee and the ant, the piercing gaze of the
eagle, the regal demeanour of the lion, the patience of the ox,
the strength and memory of the elephant, the loyalty of the dog –
the list of qualities that animals have come to symbolize could
go on and on.
Animals are God’s creatures just as humans are and also have
things to teach us, and it is not without reason that some
animals have been elevated to the rank of divinities in certain
religions. Animals do possess particular characteristics,
character traits, which can find an echo in humans, awakening
beneficial qualities in them. And Jesus, who said, ‘Be perfect as
your heavenly Father is perfect’ also said, ‘Be wise as serpents
and innocent as doves.’ "
