Hear our humble prayer, O God, for our friends the animals, especially for animals who are suffering; for all that overworked and underfed and cruelly treated; for all wistful creatures in captivity that beat against their bars; for any that are hunted or ,lost or deserted or frightened or hungry; for all that are in pain or dying; 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 blessing of the merciful. For the sake of thy Son the tenderhearted, Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
