Blessing the animals

 

BLESSING OF THE ANIMALS and ALL CREATION

For thousands of years we humans have found ways to honor and give thanks for the countless diverse creatures who are our companions with Mother Earth. People have brought their friends---plants and animals---to various rituals where these were blessed and shared with the community. Bring your companion “pets” this Sunday (August 1 at 9:30 am) to our land and together we will bless them, give thanks, and offer healing prayers.  We will share stories of how our companions have given us much love. Our land looks out to the magnificent Pikes Peak mountain top. We will have a large tent and food to share. All are welcome, including dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, horses, flowers, and any other creatures dear to you such as stuffed animals or potted house plants. See the directions below.
