On Friday for St. Francis Day, Union hosted a drop in time for animals to be blessed from 4-7 p.m. We brought Willow, and Renee Sundberg and Phil Lewis gave a lovely blessing to our girl. Willow got some extra banana tonight when we got home for putting up with our shenanigans.
Glorious God, we give you greeting!
Let Sister Earth and Brother Sun praise you.
Let the fields and forests praise you.
Let the birds and beasts praise you.
Let everything that has breath praise you,
Mother and Father of all that has Being.

Leader Ask. Ask the animals,
People and they will teach you;
Leader: ask the birds of the air,
People: and they will tell you;
Leader: ask the plants of the earth,
People: and they will show you;
Leader: ask the fish of the sea
People: and they will declare to you.
Leader: Who among all these does not know
People: that the hand of God has done this?
Leader: In God’s hand is the life of every living thing
People: and the breath of every human being.
