God created us and placed us on the earth
to be stewards of all living things,
therefore let us proclaim the glory of our Creator, saying:
O God, how wonderful are the works of your hands.
Blessed are you, O Lord of the Universe; you create the animals
and give us the ability to train them to help us in our work.
Blessed are you, O Lord of the Universe;
you give us food from animals to replenish our energies.
Blessed are you, O Lord of the Universe; for the sake of our comfort
you give us domestic animals as companions.
Blessed are you, O Lord of the Universe; you care for us
even as you care for the birds of the air.
Blessed are you, O Lord of the Universe;
you offered your Son to us as the passover lamb
and in him willed that we should be called your children.
