Do you have a sick or missing pet, or just want to pray for our animal companions? This is the official prayer of The Pet Prayer Line, founded in 1999. It is one of the earliest internet prayer lines for animals, and is still in existence today.

The Pet Prayer Line prayer chain has hundreds of members from all over the world, who pray daily for all the animals (and people) on the weekly prayer list. There also is an Emergency Prayer Team that prays for urgent requests that occur between prayer lists.

The Pet Prayer Line is open to people of all denominations and faiths. Anyone can submit a prayer request; you do not have to be part of the prayer chain. St. Francis of Assisi is the patron saint of The Pet Prayer Line.

To submit a prayer request for a pet or person, or to join the prayer chain, visit: https://thepetprayerline.com . Please do not leave prayer requests in the comment section here.

Prayer for Our Animal Friends

Heavenly Father, the bond we share with our friends of other species is a wonderful and special gift from You. We now ask You to grant our special animal companions your Fatherly care and healing power to take away any suffering they have.

Give us, their human friends, new understanding of our responsibilities to these creatures of Yours. They trust in us as we trust in You. Our souls and theirs are on earth together to share friendship, affection, and caring.  

Hear our heartfelt prayers for these, Your ill or suffering animals. Fill them with Your healing Light and strength to overcome whatever physical weakness they have. Please bring safely home to those who love them any pets who are missing.

(Here mention the names of the animals needing prayer).

Your goodness is turned upon every living thing; Your grace flows to all Your creatures, touching each of us with the reflection of Your love. Grant our special animal companions long and healthy lives. Bless our relationships with them, and if You see fit to take them from us, help us to understand that they are not gone from us, but only drawing closer to You.

May good St. Francis of Assisi, who honored You through all Your creatures, watch over our animal friends until they are safely with You in eternity, where we hope to someday join them in honoring You forever. Amen.
