St. Francis of Assisi Day!

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.Where there is hatred, let me sow love.Where there is injury, pardon.Where there is doubt, faith.Where there is despair, hope.Where there is darkness, light.Where there is sadness, joy.O Divine Master,grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;to be understood as to understand;to be loved as to love.For it is in giving that we receive,it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.Amen.
Yesterday, my parish offered pet blessings in honor of St. Francis.  We took the critters, and, aside from the cat being rather freaked out by the whole ordeal, they were very well behaved.  I was impressed.
Anyone else partaking in festivities?

    I totally forgot about it. We don't have any pets, but I do love that prayer anyway.

    We're taking ours today! My family has always done it, and this will be our new puppy's first one.

    I'm taking my dog today.  I'm hoping the divine intervention will help her to stop chewing on the couch cushions!

    I have never done this but I would really like to (Once I get a puppy). I think it is great  that the church does this.  Also zelis I love the mario brothers cupcakes, that is such an awesome idea!!

    OliveOil, I'm rooting for you!  My cat likes to eat paper, hair ties, and adhesive tape, so I'm hoping that Divine Intervention will help her, too.

    Thanks, shawna!  FI and I are both total nerds, so we're trying to figure out subtle ways of incorporating that.  Most of our decor is already in blue/green, and since those are both Mario mushroom colors, we thought it would be pretty clever.
