First Sunday After Christmas Day (2014 Year B)

This week's readings

Heaven Holds a Sense of Wonder - detail

I liked Psalm 148:7-12 because it references every living being on earth, human and animal with a sense of equality.

Praise the Lord from the earth,
    you sea monsters and all deeps,
fire and hail, snow and frost,
    stormy wind fulfilling his command!

Mountains and all hills,
    fruit trees and all cedars!

Wild animals and all cattle,
    creeping things and flying birds!

Kings of the earth and all peoples,
    princes and all rulers of the earth!

Young men and women alike,
    old and young together!

 It reminds me of an excellent blog post I saw this week An Inconvenient Truth: Everyone Is Created and Loved by God
