Letters

Leslie Dill Gondolf, Betty Keith, Charles S. Cohn

Thank you, thank you for reserving almost an entire Sentinel [“Prayer for God’s creatures,” March 26] to the important topic of praying for animals. I have given this much thought over the years, and I’m so grateful for the growing recognition that all of God’s creatures need our love, protection, and prayers. These precious spiritual ideas give us so much in the form and example of unconditional love, loyalty, courage, energy, forgiveness, joy, beauty, that surely we can show our gratitude by defending them from harm. Animal abuse is still an ugly reminder that more work needs to be done by spiritual, compassionate thinkers to protect and defend God’s creatures in our prayers and actions. I’m so appreciative that our periodicals are reminding us of our opportunity to pray deeply for all in God’s family, including the animal kingdom.

Thank you for the March 26 Sentinel, “Prayer for God’s Creatures.” Although I have no pet at the present time, my son has a dog named Brody. He is a rescue dog, and expresses love to everyone he meets.
