“Blessed are you, Lord God, maker of all living creatures.
You
called forth fish in the sea, birds in the air and animals on the land.
You inspired St. Francis to call all of them his brothers and sisters.
We ask you to bless this pet.
By the power of your love, enable it 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.”
