Prayer for Blessing Pets
Blessed are you, Lord God, maker of all living creatures. In your infinite wisdom, Lord God, when you created the universe you blessed us with all living creatures. You called forth fish in the sea, birds in the air and animals on the land. You inspired Saint Francis of Assisi to call all of them his brothers and sisters.
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 our pets. May our pets continue giving us joy and remind us of Your power.
By the power of your love, enable them to live according to your plan. May we always praise you for all your beauty in creation. Blessed are you, Lord our God, in all your creatures!
Amen.
