A PRAYER FOR ANIMALS
(sometimes attributed to Albert Schweitzer but
likely incorrectly)
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.
