In a small town in Brazil, Father João has become an angel not just to people — but to the forgotten souls with fur and wagging tails. 🐶✨ Every Sunday, as church bells ring and parishioners gather for Mass, he opens the church doors wide for stray dogs — hungry, scared, and longing to be seen. 🙏💞

Before the service, he gently bathes them, feeds them, and gives each one a place of honor at the altar — not as outcasts, but as beloved children of God. 🌈🐾 As the choir sings, the dogs wander among the pews, sometimes curling up beside worshippers who can’t help but smile. And often, by the end of Mass, one of those dogs leaves the church in new arms — adopted, safe, and finally home. 🏡💖

Through simple acts of kindness, Father João reminds the world that compassion is the truest form of faith. ✝️💫 He doesn’t just preach love — he lives it, proving that the holiest miracles often come on four paws. 🌹🐕
