The bond between animals and humans is often very strong and losses can be very painful.

Dear St. Melengell,
Please watch over the blessed creatures who live on wild lands and farm lands (be they wild or “come hither”). Protect them from those who would take their lives for food or sport. Show humans everywhere that they do not need to eat the flesh of other living beings and may live with all in peace and harmony. Thank you blessed St. Melengell. In the love of all creatures, Francis-Clare
Please dear lord please heal my dog Max, a 9 year old Maltese mix. He has allergies and now cherry eye. I will pray for all animals that need healing as well during my prayers and blessings which I do every night before sleep. I love Max so much and just pray his cherry eye goes away soon, along with his allergies, he’s my baby.
Dearest St. Melangell, Please pray for my bunny Puck. He suffers from teeth issues and has had a rough time with them lately. Please bless him and his worried human. Amen.
