Omschrijving

God's Creatures Great And Small

God's Creatures Great And Small a book of prayers and blessings for our pets and those who love them. Here is a special book of prayers for the family pets inspired by Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals. From birth and welcoming through good times and bad, you will find a blessing that fits the occasion. As caretakers of God's special creatures, we can confidently place them in His arms as long as they are with us and beyond.

A book of prayers for pets is more than sentiment; it is a quiet revolution of the heart that restores the proper order of creation. In a culture that often treats animals as disposable accessories or mere "property," such a book gently reclaims the truth of Genesis: every sparrow, every tabby, every loyal retriever is seen, known, and loved by the Creator. When a child prays the blessing over a goldfish or an elderly widow whispers thanksgiving for the cat curled on her lap, they are practicing St. Francis's Canticle in miniature--sun and moon, wind and fire, brother dog and sister sparrow all praising God together.

These prayers sanctify attachment. Children learn stewardship before theology: caring for the hamster teaches responsibility; burying the guinea pig with a simple rite teaches mortality and hope. Grieving adults discover that tears over a dying beagle are not childish but sacred, because love itself is never wasted. The book offers words when hearts are wordless--prayers for healing, for safe travel in the car, for gratitude after a clean veterinary bill, for peaceful passing beneath the kitchen table.

On October 4, many families gather with leashed dogs and crated rabbits at church steps for the Transitus blessing; this little book becomes their missal. Veterinarians slip it into drawers for tearful clients; rescue volunteers read the prayer for abandoned animals before opening cages each dawn.
Ultimately, it widens the circle of prayer. A soul that learns to intercede for a limping stray is already learning to intercede for the homeless man on the corner. Tenderness toward the least of God's creatures is rehearsal for tenderness toward the least of His children. One small book, carried in purse or glovebox, keeps alive the Franciscan conviction: all creation groans--and prays--together until the great restoration when the wolf will dwell with the lamb, and every pawprint and hoofprint will be redeemed.
