Blessing Of Pets and Animals

The blessing of pets and animals is often celebrated on close to October 4, which is the feast of Saint Francis of Assisi. Francis loved all of creation and viewed all of creation as a gift from God to be appreciated and cared for.

:: The Blessing of Pets Prayer ::

Blessed are you, Lord God, maker of all creatures. You called forth fish in the sea, birds in the air, and animals on the land. You inspired St. Francis to call all of them his brohers and sisters. We ask you to bless this pet.  By the power of your love, enable it ot live according to your plan. May we always praise you for all your beauty in creations. Blessed are you, Lord God, and all your creations. Amen.
