“ORIGINAL BLESSING”
Genesis 1:27-28, 31
 God blessed them and God said to
them: Be fertile and multiply; fill the
earth and subdue it.[ Have dominion
over the fish of the sea, the birds of
the air, and all the living things that
crawl on the earth.

God looked at everything he had

made, and found it very good.
God created mankind in Evening came, and morning
his image; in the image of followed—the sixth day.
God he created them; male
and female[f] he created
them.

PSALM 8
O LORD, our Lord, how awesome is your name
through all the earth!
I will sing of your majesty above the heavens. 
When I see your heavens, the work of your
fingers, the moon and stars that you set in place—
What is man that you are mindful of him, and a
son of man that you care for him?

“
Yet you have made him little less than a god,
crowned him with glory and honor.
You have given him rule over the works of your
hands,    put all things at his feet:
O LORD, our Lord, how awesome is your name
through all the earth!
“ Psalm 139:14

You formed my inmost being;

    you knit me in my mother’s womb.

I praise You because

I am wonderfully
made; “
    wonderful are your works!
    My very self you know.

LOST SON
LUKE 15:11-32

So he got up and went back to his

father. While he was still a long
way off, his father caught sight of
him, and was filled with
compassion. He ran to his son,
embraced him and kissed him.

But now we must celebrate and

rejoice, because your brother was
dead and has come to life again; he
was lost and has been found. “
