Blessing of the Animals
We
are part of a grand and glorious creation, sharing the world with “all creatures great and small.” It would be difficult to over estimate how important the rest of the animal world is to human beings. Animals of all kinds are our protectors, providers and friends. From dogs that see and hear for us, to sheep that give us wool and chickens that give us eggs, to the family pet that keep us company and cheers us when we are sad, to eagles in flight that inspire our dreams, animals are a big part of our well-being.
Like us, animals are God’s precious creatures.
In gratitude to God and in respect and affectionfor our animals, we will share together in a service of “The Blessing of the Animals.”
Pets and their people are invited to the
