Our Fellow Creatures, the Animals
"Look at the birds of the air."
— Matthew 6:26
Creator of all life,
Animals enrich our world. They keep us company, fill us with wonder, teach us, participate in nature's balance.
Thank You for animals. For those who share our lives, for those who inhabit the wild, for the extraordinary diversity of the animal kingdom.
Help us treat them with respect and compassion. To protect their habitats, to fight against cruelty, to recognize their value. They are not objects but living beings.
Amen.
