Method:
On the Cross: 
God Our Heavenly Father, You created the world to serve humanity's needs and to lead them to You. By our own fault we have lost the beautiful relationship which we once had with all your creation. Help us to see that by restoring our relationship with You we will also restore it with all Your creation. Give us the grace to see all animals as gifts from You and to treat them with respect for they are Your creation. We pray for all animals who are suffering as a result of our neglect. May the order You originally established be once again restored to the whole world through the merits of Your Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ Who lives and reigns with You now and forever. Amen. -- Prayer For Animals, by Brother John Raymond of the Monks of the Adoration
Invitatory Bead: 
Lord God, you teach us that the commandments of heaven are summarized in love of you and love of our neighbor. By following the example of Saint Rocco in practicing works of charity may we be counted among the blessed in your kingdom. Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit one God, forever and ever. Amen.

  1. Finally a .Prayer for animals. Just makes sense they too created by God. Should be treated with respect.

  2. What is the song of creation - is that the prayer that follows? I keep thinking this may be a place to say another prayer ? That is known as Song of Creation? Referenced here?
    Thank you for your help.
