Dionysos, master of the wild places,
companion of beasts and guardian of living things,
protect those who roam the forests,
those who graze in the fields,
those who soar upon the wind,
and those who dwell in the depths of the waters.
Grant health to the animals in our care,
comfort to those who suffer,
and safety to those who are vulnerable.
Teach us to treat all creatures with respect and gratitude,
remembering that they share with us the gift of life.
May the wild flourish, may the endangered endure,
and may harmony grow between mankind and the animal world.
Dionysos, promoter of nature’s abundance, savage God,
let your blessing rest upon every creature that breathes,
and bless the humans who dedicate themselves to caring for them.
