St Patrick's Day Pet Prayer

Last year I did a St Patrick's Day blessing live on the air on a nationally syndicated radio show. Some of you were not readers then--so here it is again--plus a favorite St Patrick's Day video.



Saint Patrick's Day Pet Prayer

Picture your cherished pet in your mind or hold your pet close.

Beloved Spirit everywhere present, we gather together today to ask for a blessing.

We give thanks for the life we enjoy and for the element, plants, and animals that are part of our daily existence.

We send thanks to our companion animals, domestic livestock, and pets.

On St Patrick’s Day we ask this blessing for our animals:

May your lives be filled with comfort and joy.

May your coats stay shining, your noses stay cold, and please may your breath stay sweet!

May the sun keep your warm when it is cold--and may the wind keep you cool when it is hot.

May each and every day be filled with adventure and be void of any woes.

May you always put a smile on the face of everyone you meet.

May your antics amuse and warm the hearts of all the humans you encounter.

May your friends be plentiful and your fleas be few.

May your owners always greet you, with a treat and a pat on the head.

May your bed remain warm, your food bowl stay full, and may you live a long and healthy life.

As your faithful owner indulges you, may God hold you close.

May we live in harmony with one another, and may this blessing be carried to animals everywhere.

Blessings to you all.
