O Earth, Praise Your Creator

Earth Day and Good Friday coincided this year on April 22... which one did you observe?

The daily lectionary reading for April 22 included Psalm 148 as one of the morning Psalms.  I display verses 3-10 for your ironic enjoyment.

Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord from the heavens;
praise him in the heights!
Praise him, all his angels;
praise him, all his hosts!
Praise him, sun and moon, praise him,
all you shining stars!
Praise him, you highest heavens,
and you waters above the heavens!

Let them praise the name of the Lord!
For he commanded and they were created.
And he established them forever and ever;
he gave a decree, and it shall not pass away.

Praise the Lord from the earth,
you great sea creatures and all deeps,
fire and hail, snow and mist,
stormy wind fulfilling his word!

Mountains and all hills,
fruit trees and all cedars!
Beasts and all livestock,
creeping things and flying birds!

Collect for Mark Chapter 5

Most High God, who has mercy upon the sick, grieving and oppressed, direct our hearts in faith to your Son that, being made whole in him, your name may receive due praise, through Christ our Healer. Amen
