I have no words, the final illustration brought me to tears, the simplicity of the image touched my heart so deeply that I’m still crying. Christ taking our great Saint into the kingdom that He promised, the only kingdom our great Saint desired and lived for since the day he first heard the call. I really wish I had enough capacity to describe what I’m feeling. PS: If possible, I would love to translate subtitles for this video in Portuguese, I have to share this video with my countrymen.

When you said "vicious animals", the snake you showed is a Ball Python. They are very gentle and non venomous. A bite or scratch from a cat is more painful than a bite from one... but they rarely bite. Even when found in the wild, they're gentle and sweet creatures

Ooh! Thank you for this perspective. I know very very little about snakes - I had to choose from a limited selection of licensed images. :) There are many stories in the desert where these “vicious” animals were also really kind and supportive to the desert fathers.
