Today is the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and the environment! Bring your pet (or join the animal lovers of your parish) to the blessing of the animals at your local parish today or this weekend!

O God, you have redeemed all creation through the incarnation of your eternal Word; Protect our pets, your creatures, who provide us with joy and nonjudgmental companionship; Give us respect for all of your redeemed creation, that we may care for creation as just and humble stewards; We pray this in the name of the same Word, Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen. (David Bennett: [ Ссылка ])
