Prayer for animals

Jag har en liten tavla över min säng med en vacker text.

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 must be 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 kindly words.

Make us, ourselves, to be true friends to animals

and so to share the blessings of the merciful.
