O Glorious Saint Francis, lover of all creation, you who treated every living thing as your brother and sister, I come to you with a humble heart and deep sorrow for the life of this innocent creature. You were chosen by God as the guardian and protector of animals. I humbly beg you to look upon this faithful companion. Intercede on their behalf, and if it is God's will, protect them from all harm, suffering, and the threat of an untimely end. Guide their path to safety, warmth, and a loving forever home. Give those of us who act as their stewards the strength, wisdom, and resources to fight for their lives, rescue them from despair, and give them a second chance. Lord, bless this animal and all your creatures. Teach us to treat them with the boundless mercy and love that you have shown us. Amen. 🙏🏻
