Our blessing of the pets will take place at Holy Savior parish in Clinton on Monday, October 2 at 6:00 pm.
Almighty Lord, our Creator, we give you praise, glory, honor, and blessings as we celebrate the feast day of St Francis of Assisi this week. St Francis saw you, God, in all creation. He saw you in all creatures, big and small, for to you alone do all these things belong. We praise you for giving us our animal friends, the birds of the air and the fish of the sea, all these creatures which fill the world. May we think of you and thank you when we play with and care for our pets. We give you thanks for our pets who are our friends and companions. We ask you, Lord, that we may be good to our pets always, so that they may be happy and week-cared for. Help us always to take care of them so that they will be healthy. O God, your world is so wonderful. May we all come into your eternal kingdom where we shall see even more wonderful things and where we shall live and love for ever. This we ask to your eternal praise as we bless our animals today in honor of St Francis Assisi whom we celebrate on his feast day this week. May almighty God bless all of our pets in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. AMEN.
