The following blessing was shared by Father Vincent Inghilterra, a Franciscan. I had asked him to bless our pets here at this blog.
Heavenly Father, our human ties with our friends of other species is a wonderful and special gift from You. We now ask You to grant our special animal companions your Fatherly care and healing power to take away any suffering they have. Give us, their human friends, new understanding of our responsibilities to these creatures of yours.
They have trust in us as we have trust in You; We are on this earth together to give one another friendship, affection, and caring. Take our heartfelt prayers and fill Your ill or suffering animals with healing Light and strength to overcome whatever weakness of body they have.
( Here mention the names of the animals needing prayer )
Your goodness is turned upon every living thing and Your grace flows to all Your creatures. Grant to our special animal companions long and healthy lives. Give them good relationships with and if You see fit to take them from us, help us to understand that they are not gone from us, but only drawing closer to You. Grant our petitions through the intercession of good St. Francis of Assisi, who honored You through all Your creatures.

PETITION
I'm requesting prayer through intercession of Saints and Holy Mary and Jesus to God The Father that when the time comes, the ones with me, ALL of them, become priests. If they can't make it that far, I'm asking for prayer that they become Franciscan Brothers. I'm sure the Fransicans would take them - ALL of them. This includes my father. They can cook and clean and can live on a budget. That way, I wouldn't worry would happen to them at the time of my passing. Thank you so very much for this kind favor and confirmation of favor granted for ALL of them - which includes a new grandson and grandchildren. They deserve the best.
