A Message About the Prayer for Pets

Aloha Everyone:

Just wanted to make sure you understood that we welcome all prayer requests regardless of the Faith or Religion of a particular owner.

I am a Roman Catholic and I firmly believe that our friends the saints do intercede for us when we ask. That is why you will see that Catholics have patron saints for certain occupations, ailments, problems and also for animals. I know God will answer our prayers if it be His will.

Again, thank you for all your prayers. I know it makes a big difference.

Dancing With Pussycats said...: I'm so glad you posted this. I've been trying unsuccessfully so far to figure out how to petition prayers for my friend's cat. Now I can do it through the comments on this post.

Sissy is around 15 years old and has been diagnosed with lymphoma. Her doctor says surgery would do more harm than good, so she is on medication to try to help her keep food down.

Please pray that Sissy's health improves.

Fabulous website! Every day I pray for my cat, Pollyrose, and every night she gets blessed with holy water just before bedtime.; September 1, 2009 at 12:03 PM

Prayer for My Pet

In Your infinite wisdom, Lord God,
when You created the Universe
You blessed us with all living creatures.
We especially thank You for giving us our pets
who are our friends and who bring us so much joy in life.
Their presence very often helps us get through trying times.
Kindly bless my pet.
May my pet continue giving me joy and remind me of Your power.

May we realize that as our pets
trust us to take care of them, so we should trust You to take care of us,
and in taking care of them we share in Your love for all Your creatures.
Enlighten our minds to preserve all endangered species
so that we may continue to appreciate all Your creatures.

Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayers for Animals and their Masters

Hear our humble prayer,
O God,
for our friends, the animals, especially for animals who are suffering:
for animals that are over-worked,
under-fed and cruelly treated;
for all wistful creatures in captivity
that beat their wings against bars;
for any that are hunted or lost or deserted
or frightened or hungry;
for all that must be put to death.

We entreat for them all
your mercy and pity,
and for those who deal with them
we ask a heart of compassion
and gentle hands and kindly words.
Make us, ourselves,
to be true friends to animals
and so to share the blessings of the Merciful.

Albert Schweitzer (1875- 1965)
Theologian and Humanitarian

The Rainbow Bridge

There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth.
It is called "The Rainbow Bridge" because of its
many colors.
Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge,
there is a land of meadows, hills and
valleys with lush green grass.
When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place. There is always food and water and warm Spring
weather.
Those old and frail animals are young again.
Those who have been maimed are made whole again.
They play all day with each other.
But there is only one thing missing.
They are not with their special person who
loved them on earth.
So, each day, they run and play until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up.
The nose twitches, the ears are up, the eyes are staring, and this one runs from the group.
You have been seen.
When you and your special friend meet,
you take him or her in your arms and embrace.
Your face is kissed again and again.
You look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet. Then, you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated.
