The Friend of Animals
"That meekness which is so necessary, we should learn from St. Francis. For his was an extraordinary meekness, not only toward other people, but also toward animals. He called all animals 'brother' or 'sister' and we read in the story of his life how even wild animals came running to him as their friend and companion." --From a sermon of St. Bonaventure, evening, October 4, 1255
To be meek is to not think of yourself too highly or too lowly. We must always bear in mind that God gives grace to the humble.
