Blessing of the Animals

"Dear St. Francis,

The animals here today are doing good and have good homes.

The birds are fine too but our oceans are filled with oil.

Help the animals that are hurting and please make them better.

Amen."

Lydia, Age 8

"In the world to come,

each of us will be called to account

for all the good things

God put on earth

which we refused to enjoy."

The Talmud, cited in Kushner, p.82
