Sad News - Geronimo the Dog

"Geronimo"

From Kristina:

...Just want you to know that Geronimo went to heaven on Tuesday. (Oct. 30) My gangly teenager (14 years and 9 months) was the best guy. He won over countless hearts. He was truly ALL love. Nothing was too much for G and gosh, he was so dang much fun! We played, worked, prayed and snuggled together. He always wanted to be where his people were until the very end. We went everywhere together. I can’t think of anywhere in New England that I went that he didn’t. He loved adventure and relished being out in all kinds of weather, so Tuesday evening’s post Hurricane Sandy thunder, lightning and rain was so appropriate. We stood in the rain, lightning and thunder and figuratively and literally soaked it all up. This picture was taken in the parking lot at a local city farm. Ironically, it was just before Halloween and some people thought this was a costume. I had just got him a fleece jacket to stay cozy and warm and I put swimming noodles in the back seat, so his paws wouldn't slip into the corners. Ends up, he looks like he is ready for trick or treating as a gator, dragon, iguana, an over-sized gecko?! I can't thank you and the prayer warriors enough. ALL your love came back to him and that means the world to me. We shall ALL meet in heaven...

Please keep Kristina in your prayers as she mourns the loss of her beloved Geronimo.

I shall whisper a prayer to my late Dad who is already there to keep an eye out for your G. You can be sure there will be a soft hand to pet him and pocket filled with doggie treats. Dad was always surrounded by canine friends.
I also believe that a bond as treasured as yours with Geronimo is never broken, and I believe your G will find a most special way to let you know he is very much with you.
Hugs to you and may G know every joy of Heaven.; November 4, 2012 at 4:27 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

Prayer for Healing: Intercession of Bl. Francis X. Seelos C.S.s.R.

Prayer to St. Martin de Porres

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.
