| Tonight,
Monday, we join hands, hearts and souls across the land as one large extended
family to pray for our sick and dying pets and to pay tribute to our furbabies
who have gone ahead to Rainbow Bridge. Someday, we will meet them again, with
hugs, tears and kisses, as we walk together, in eternity, to our new home.

PRAYER:
God, Creator of all living things, we ask that as we light
our candles, the healing warmth of love will flow into the brokenhearted who
have lost a loved one. Give to them Your strength and comfort. We also pray
that the soft glow of light will part the clouds of grief and sorrow to
surround our furbabies at the Bridge.
May excitement reign supreme as
wagging tails, ecstatic purrs and flapping feathers feel our gentle touch once
again. May they know the gratitude we hold in our hearts for their faithfulness
and gift of unconditional love as they are forever remembered. We are
temporarily separated for only a short while. The gold cord that connects us
through time and space can never be broken. AMEN.

CANDLE 1:
PERSONAL FURBABY
I will not look back for there is sorrow. I will
not look for today for there is longing. I will look forward for there is our
tomorrow.
If you wish to add a personal message to this prayer please do so
now.

CANDLE 2:
FURBABIES OF
FRIENDS AND FAMILY Read the names of those who
have gone on before us as a tribute to them and their loving parents. As we all
meet here, our Bridgekids will be meeting all newcomers, easing their
way.

CANDLE 3:
FOR ACKNOWLEDGMENT
AND PEACE We light this candle in honor of all
the homeless, forgotten, abandoned, abused animals. For the nameless
furchildren who gave their lives for others, for research and as a result of
humankind's inhumanity. May the Higher Powers that be forgive the cruelty. As
our lights shine brightly through the galaxy, may the angels smile upon us, and
know that for a brief moment, we have put aside worldly differences to bond as
one. |
CLOSING:
I have sent you on a journey to a land free from pain, not
because I did not love you, but because I loved you too much to force you to
stay.
MOMENT OF SILENCE:
"Blessed are they that mourn, for they will be comforted."
Love, light and healing to all. Amen. The candles being lit tonight; Cast a
soft and welcome flame. And draw our loved ones to the light as we call to them
by name. Imagine spirits taking flight, For a moment our souls entwine. Say not
Good Night, but in some Brighter Time bid them all... Good
Morning. |
