Prayer For Lost Pet To Return Home
A Franciscan Blessing for Our Animal Friends
Prayer for My Pet
In Your infinite wisdom, Lord God,
when You created the Universe
You blessed us with all living creatures.
We especially thank You for giving us our pets
who are our friends and who bring us so much joy in life.
Their presence very often helps us get through trying times.
Kindly bless my pet.
May my pet continue giving me joy and remind me of Your power.
May we realize that as our pets
trust us to take care of them, so we should trust You to take care of us,
and in taking care of them we share in Your love for all Your creatures.
Enlighten our minds to preserve all endangered species
so that we may continue to appreciate all Your creatures.
Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Dear St. Anthony,

Help me to find the beloved pet I have lost

who seek what they have lost -
especially those who seek to regain God's grace.
Amen.

for your mercy on this family
and their dearly
loved pet,
and for restoring him/her to them.
It is in your name we pray,
Amen.
Hear our humble prayer,
O God,
for our friends, the animals, especially for animals who are suffering:
for animals that are over-worked,
under-fed and cruelly treated;
for all wistful creatures in captivity

for any that are hunted or lost or deserted
or frightened or hungry;
for all that must be put to death.

maker of all living creatures,
we ask you to bless (name of pet),
who brings so much joy into our lives.
By the power of Your love,
enable him (her) to live according to your plan.
May we always praise You for all Your beauty in creation.
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
Blessed are You, God, in all Your creatures!
