In this season of creation, we think of St Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and the environment, who considered the animals and world around him like brothers and sisters. On St Francis’ day, 6th October at 12, following the Sunday service, there is a blessing of pets to remember him. So even if you are not a regular church-goer, bring along your own animal companions, and have a special prayer said for their well-being.
A prayer taken from the Scottish Episcopal Church’s new daily prayers for the season:
God Most High,
maker of heaven and earth,
you created humankind in your own image
and entrusted the whole world to human care:
give us grace to serve you faithfully,
that we might be trustworthy stewards of your creation,
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.
