A Prayer for Animals

Hear our humble prayer, O God, for
our friends the animals, especially for
animals who are suffering; for any that
are hunted or lost or deserted or frightened
or hungry; for all that must be put to death.
We entreat for them all Thy mercy and pity,
and for those who deal with them we ask a
heart of compassion and gentle hands and
kindly words. Make us, ourselves, to be
true friends to animals and so to share
the blessings of the merciful.

Albert Schweitzer
