A PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING FOR ALL THE ANIMALS

A PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING FOR ALL THE ANIMALS

Mother Theresa of Calcutta

Thank you Lord for all the animals. The tiger, the bear, the elephant, the horse, the cow and the goat. You Lord are the shepherd who calls us “Your Flock.”

Thank you for the birds that sing hymns to you and for the fish that swim in the abyss of creation.

Returning home, often weary and very tired, our little dog—very happy and wagging his tail—welcomes me, kissing my hands. You have given us so many friends as a gift, Lord!
