Furry, feathered, finned, four-legged, and winged, the
diversity of God’s creatures inspires wonder and awe.
From Noah’s Ark, to barn animals surrounding baby
Jesus, to Isaiah’s vision of the lion dwelling with the
lamb, God’s creatures play an important role in the
Bible. In the psalms, creatures give praise to God, having
their own relationship with God separate from
humanity. Thus, knowing and loving God’s creatures
helps us better know our Creator.
While Genesis 2:1-15 calls humans to till and keep
creation, Genesis 1 calls us to also marvel at and love
all creatures.
The seven days of creation narrative does not inspire a spirit of superiority, a distance, of domination, or of exploitation. The seven days narrative is inspired by, testifies to, and hopes to inspire a spirit immediately seized by divine love… For the seven days narrative calls us to love as God loves. It calls us to godly dominion.
Non-human creatures enrich our human vocation, teach us about God, and companion us on life’s journeys. We give thanks for all God’s creatures and devote ourselves to better care of, and relationship with, these creatures.
