A Prayer for the Animals
~An Official S.C. Week for the Animals event~
Join those of us who would like to observe a moment of prayer and/or moment of meditation for the precious animals. This is a multi-faith observance.
We can offer prayers, poems and memorials to our animal, pet or all animals wherever we are and even light a candle by doing so.Wherever you are, if you can observe a moment for the animals who need us...that collective energy will surely grow and bring light to our cause to love, assist and help them from any and all suffering. For poems, ideas and quotes, http://www.animalworldusa.org/Inspiration.html
