Oil Dedicated to Saint Ambrose (Patron for Livestock)

Patron of Livestock, Defender of the Faith, and Shepherd of the People

Saint Ambrose of Milan, one of the great Fathers of the Church, lived in the 4th century and left an enduring mark on Christian faith and culture. Though he is widely celebrated for his brilliant theological writings, his eloquent defense of the faith, and his role in guiding the early Church through times of controversy, St. Ambrose is also honored as the patron saint of livestock.

This patronage reflects his deep care not only for human souls but for the whole of God’s creation. In an era when livestock were central to daily life and survival, St. Ambrose’s intercession was sought to protect animals from disease and misfortune. Farmers and herdsmen turned to him for the health and safety of their cattle, sheep, and other animals that provided sustenance and livelihood for families and communities.

Saint Ambrose’s compassion extended beyond the intellectual and spiritual. He was a shepherd in the truest sense—watching over his flock, both human and animal, with wisdom and kindness. His leadership style was marked by humility, generosity to the poor, and tireless efforts to protect the weak and vulnerable in society.

Today, St. Ambrose remains a beloved intercessor for farmers, ranchers, and all those who care for animals. He reminds us that stewardship of creation is a sacred trust and that our care for animals reflects our gratitude for God’s gifts.

Our Irish Blessing Oil dedicated to Saint Ambrose is prayerfully prepared in remembrance of his gentle protection and wisdom. Each bottle comes with a prayer card seeking his intercession—for the health and safety of livestock, for farmers working the land, and for communities who depend on animals for their sustenance.

Lovingly prayed over by the team at A Blessed Call to Love. Serves as a spiritual encouragement and blessing for those seeking God’s protection over their animals and homes.

May the intercession of Saint Ambrose safeguard your livestock, bless your work, and fill your heart with peace, knowing that all creation is lovingly held in God’s care.
