Father James of St Mel’s Church Longford Town, County Longford gave a blessing today to pets great and small, and below is a prayer for those with their own pet that would like to pray for their pets from St Francis of Assisi Patron Saint of All Animals
PRAYERS TO ST. FRANCIS FOR OUR PETS:
Good St. Francis, you loved all of God’s creatures.
To you they were your brothers and sisters.
Help us to follow your example
of treating every living thing with kindness.
St. Francis, Patron Saint of animals,
watch over my pet
and keep my companion safe and healthy.
Amen.

Heavenly Father,
you created all things for your glory
