A Prayer for the Homeless Cats
O Lord, Creator of all living things,
We lift up to You the small and unseen, the cats who wander our cities without shelter or care. You who see the sparrow fall and clothe the lilies of the field, look with compassion upon these creatures who roam alone.
Grant them warmth in the cold, food to sustain their bodies, and places of safety where they may find rest. Protect them from harm, hunger, and fear. May the kindness of human hearts provide for their needs and open doors to shelter them.
For the mother cats, give them a safe place to care for their young. For the kittens, let them find refuge and hands that will guide them to homes filled with love. For the injured and the sick, bring healing and comfort through the care of those who serve in mercy.
Bless those who work tirelessly to rescue, feed, and care for these homeless creatures. Strengthen their hands and multiply their resources, that they may be instruments of Your love to the least of these.
Lord, teach us all to be stewards of Your creation, showing compassion to every living thing. Let us remember that in caring for the vulnerable, we honor You, the Maker of us all.
May the streets and alleys of our cities become places of grace, where even the smallest of Your creatures find a touch of heaven’s care.
In Your name, we pray. Amen.
