Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is
plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or
maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone
by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special
to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance.
His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over
the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous
reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved
head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent
from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

We would like to invite all Cat Rescue Network supporters to do the candlelight ceremony for these
animals and for all the animals who die alone and have nobody to mourn them.
The Monday Night Candle Ceremony
The Monday Night Candle Ceremony is a very special and healing ceremony to honor our pets who have
crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge, and to send prayers and healing energy to those furbabies who are ill.
The Ceremony is held online in a chatroom on the petloss.com website
at 10:00 pm Eastern time on Monday nights, and lasts approximately 20 minutes online.
The Ceremony typically involves the lighting of three candles, and the reading of prayers.
For more about the ceremony please visit the
Pet Loss website.
A Prayer for Animals
Here our humble prayer, 0 God, for our friends the animals,
especially for animals who are suffering; for animals that are overworked, underfed and cruelly treated;
for all wistful creatures in captivity that beat their wings against bars;
for any that are hunted or lost or deserted or frightened or hungry;
for all that must be put to death.
We entreat for them all Thy mercy and pity, and for those who deal with them we ask
a heart of compassion and gentle hands and kindly words. Make us, ourselves, to be true
friends to animals, and so to share the blessings of the merciful.
Albert Schweitzer
