New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Today is the feast day of Saint Francis of Assisi, who was well known for his love of nature and animals. Statues of Saint Francis adorn many gardens, and he is celebrated for his embrace of a simple life. On this day, many people perform pet blessings. You can perform one yourself today, or you can bless animals of the wild-or both.
Decorate your altar with statues and images of animals. Give your animal companions special attention today, perhaps a treat or new toy. Say: "Creatures of the world be blessed, Scaled, shelled, feathered, furred; In water, fields, caves, and nests, I celebrate them with these words." |
