Dear God, you have given us care over all living things; protect and bless the animals who give us companionship and delight, make us their true friends and worthy companions. Amen.



Dear God, protect and bless all beings that breathe, keep all evil from them, and let them sleep in peace. Amen.
--Albert Schweitzer, "Memoirs of Childhood and Youth"


Eternal Spirit, we bring you our grief in the loss of Tatiana and ask for courage to bear it. We bring you our thanks for Tatiana who lived among us and gave us freely of her love. We commit our friend and companion Tatiana into your loving hands. Give us eyes to see how your love embraces all creatures and every living thing speaks to us of your love. Amen.
