It took a year to read the Bible, then almost 9 months to read the Apocrypha. Now, I'm going to try to offer reflections on the Narrative Lectionary. But, I won't be posting daily--at least, for a while.

Who should praise the name of the Lord, a Reflection on Psalm 148

On his website Liturgy, the Rev. Bosco Peters has included an excerpt from the Benedicite Aotearoa in the New Zealand Book of Prayer

10 All prophets and priests, all cleaners and clerks,
professors, shop workers, typists and teachers,
job-seekers, invalids, ' drivers • and ' doctors:
give to our ' God your ' thanks and ' praise.
11 All sweepers and diplomats, writers and artists,
grocers, carpenters, students and stock-agents,
seafarers, farmers, ' bakers • and ' mystics:
give to our ' God your ' thanks and ' praise.
12 All children and infants, all ' people • who ' play:
give to our ' God your ' thanks and ' praise.


As you read verses 10 through 12 in Psalm 148, substitute persons appropriate for your own life and locale.
