Saint Francis, Brother of men and every creature, You, the bird saint, You, who spoke, soothed, comforted animals, especially those who were suffering as in the case of your Brother Wolf, I entrust to your intercession this animal which is dear to me: (name the animal)

Following your example, I praise the Lord God, creator of the world and all that inhabits it: "Praise be to you, my Lord, with all your creatures."

Lord, I thank you for the presence of this animal in my life. Through him, as through every creature, I see the sign of your goodness and love for us.

Today, I come to ask you for the grace (to find him, to heal him, to welcome him to your side...).

Through your Son, Jesus Christ, have mercy on us, Lord.

In everything and everywhere, thy will be done.

Amen"
