A Prayer For Animals

Hear our humble prayer, O. God for our friends the animals, especially for animals
who are suffering: for any that are hunted or lost or deserted or frightened or
hungry; For all that are put to death. We entreat for them all Thy mercy and pity,
and for those who deal with them we ask a heart of compassion and gentle hands and
kind words.

Make us, ourselves, to be true friends to animals and so to share the blessings of
the merciful.
