What Is The Blessing Of The Animals

The blessing of pets and animals is often celebrated on Oct 4, the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, or on a Sunday almost that engagement.  This is also gear up to coincide equally the culminating decision for the Season of Creation.  Click here for a link to the American Catholic website with some more than reflection on this occasion.


In the Scriptures, the act of blessing means 'the imparting of power or life.' The person performing the blessing is mediating that power from God or Christ to the person performing or the animal involved. To bless is more than an expression of goodwill and caring. To bless is to impart God'due south power in person!
The blessing of each animal, by name, ways that health, healing and life are being mediated from God for the benefit of the brute in its relationship with its human partners. Be conscientious non to reinforce the separation of human animals and other animals by this blessing. Instead, consider reinforcing our mutual kinship by blessing ALL animals--man and otherwise.
