We are going to have the blessings of the animals this upcoming Monday (OCTOBER 4) at St Jude Catholic Church in Pearl, Mississippi at 6:00 pm in honor of St Francis of Assisi on his feast day. Last year we had a goat, guinea pigs, rabbits, and fish in addition to numerous dogs and cats. We always love the blessing of the animals. Join us - all are welcome!
Let us pray:
Almighty Lord, our Creator, yours are the praise, the glory, the honor and all blessings. To you alone do all things belong. We praise you for giving us the animals, birds, fish, and all creatures which fill the world.
May we thank you for the presence of our pets in our lives. Be praised for making us so happy to have our pets and to have them as our companions.
We ask you, O Lord, that we may be good to our pets always, so that they may be happy also. May you help us to take care of them so that they will be content and healthy. May you help us be good stewards of all of your creation.
O God, your world is so wonderful. We pray that one day we may be able to enter into the even greater world of the kingdom of eternal life where we shall see even more wonderful things and where we shall live and love for ever. This we ask to your eternal praise, and to our blessing, in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
