Respect for Animals
"The righteous care for the needs of their animals."
— Proverbs 12:10
Creator of all life,
Animals enrich our world in so many ways. They keep us company, fill us with wonder, teach us, participate in nature's balance.
Thank You for animals. For those who share our homes and lives, for those who inhabit the wild, for the extraordinary diversity of the animal kingdom.
Help us treat them with respect and compassion. To protect their habitats, to fight against cruelty, to recognize their intrinsic value. They are not objects but living beings who deserve our kindness.
Amen.
