I recently saw a fb post from a friend of mine stating that they had to say goodbye to their dog. I had to say goodbye to my own dog last week. So I thought I’d start a prayer intention thread for people who have to say goodbye to their pets.
 
When you are their everything…

Our Father Hail Mary’s x10
Glory Be Fatima
Amen
 
I’m praying for them. May God comfort them and heal their broken hearts.
 
Hail Mary,
Full of grace,
The Lord is with Thee.
Blessed art Thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of Thy womb,
Jesus
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners,
Now and at the hour of death,
Amen

Devotion for Pets Who Have Passed On

“I saw a new heaven and a new earth:
for the first heaven and the first earth
were passed away. And he shall wipe
away all tears from their eyes; and there
shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor
crying, neither shall there be anymore pain:
for the former things are passed away.
And he that sat upon the throne said,
Behold I make all things new. I am Alpha
and Omega, the beginning and the end.”

— Revelation 21:1, 4-5a, 6

i’ll just offer this “cliche” of a prayer

i’ve lost more pets than i care to count; this brought me some comfort
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together…

I can relate to this intention. In February I had to say goodbye to a beloved cat who got a fast-spreading cancer. I still miss her very much even though I have other beloved cats and have taken in a new cat in need of help. Each cat is special and an individual, and reflects the love God has for me in their trusting and loving behavior.

**Prayer for someone who has lost a pet **
by Beth MacLendon of Inspirational-Prayers.com

Loving Lord, I pray for your loving compassion to surround all those who have lost their beloved pets.

Lord, you love all these pet owners and have compassion for their emotional pain. Put your arms of love around them and comfort them as they deal with the loss of their beloved pets. Death has taken their treasured companions from their homes, but it cannot take them from their owners’ hearts.

Thank you, Lord, for all the good times that they shared. They created a bond that will never be broken. Thank you for all the joy and laughter that these deceased pets gave to the world.

As each pet owner ponders their reunion with their pet in heaven, may the owners feel a growing satisfaction that this life is but the entry hall into our eternal home. May the pet owners feel warm and comforted by realizing that there will be more memories to be made with their pets when they arrive in our Father’s heavenly home. As we look through the eyes of faith, we see all these pets joyfully playing in the heavenly kingdom of God.

In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
May St. Francis of Assisi pray for and intercede for all persons grieving their pets, and ask the Lord to comfort them.
Blessed Mother, St. Joseph, and St. Gertrude, please also pray for these grieving pet owners. Thank you. Amen.
 
amen

God will give us whatever we need to be happy in heaven; if that includes a lost pet
it will be so, by God’s grace…
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

For Help in Trials

Most holy apostle St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, the name of the traitor who delivered your beloved Master into the hands of His enemies has caused you to be forgotten by many. But the Church honors and invokes you universally as the patron of hopeless cases–of things despaired of. Pray for me who feels so hopeless. Make use, I implore you, of that particular privilege accorded to you of bringing visible and speedy help where help is almost despaired of. Come to my assistance in this great need, that I may receive the consolations and succor of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations and sufferings, in particular (People that Are Grieving their Pets), and that I may bless God with you and all the elect throughout eternity. I promise you, O Blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, and I will never cease to honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to do all in my power to encourage devotion to you. Amen.

Tagging this intention for Fatima rosary devotion tonight. God bless all who are mourning a lost pet, including myself (lost a kitty a couple months ago, still miss her).
