By faith we
understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what
is seen was not made out of things that are visible. (Heb 11:3) Hail
Mary
For by him
all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible,
whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were
created through him and for him. (Cl 1:16) Hail Mary
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the
earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face
of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And
God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. (Gen 1:1-3) Hail
Mary
“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and
honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they
existed and were created.” (Rev 4:11) Hail Mary
Then the Lord God formed the man of dust from
the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life,
and the man became a living creature. (Gen 2:7) Hail Mary
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All
things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was
made. (Jn 1:1-3) Hail Mary
But ask the beasts, and they will teach you; the birds of
the heavens, and they will tell you; or the bushes of the earth, and they will
teach you; and the fish of the sea will declare to you. Who among all these
does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this? (Job
12:7-9) Hail Mary
Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater
than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. If you
know these things, blessed are you if you do them. (Jn 13:16,17) Hail
Mary
For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens
existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through
water by the word of God. (2 Pet 3:5) Hail Mary
In that day the branch of the Lord shall be
beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land shall be the pride and
honor of the survivors of Israel. And he who is left in Zion and remains in
Jerusalem will be called holy, everyone who has been recorded for
life in Jerusalem, when the Lord shall have washed away the filth
of the daughters of Zion and cleansed the bloodstains of Jerusalem from
its midst by a spirit of judgment and by a spirit of burning. Then
the Lord will create over the whole site of Mount Zion and over her
assemblies a cloud by day, and smoke and the shining of a flaming fire by
night; for over all the glory there will be a canopy. (Isa 4:2-5) Hail
Mary
Glory be
Our Father
God thunders
wondrously with his voice; he does great things that we
cannot comprehend. (Job 37:5) Hail Mary
The Spirit of God
has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life. (Job 33:4) Hail
Mary
And, “You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the
beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands. (Hb 1:10) Hail Mary
Then I saw another angel flying directly overhead, with
an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation
and tribe and language and people. And he said with a loud voice, “Fear
God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come,
and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of
water.” (Rev 14:6,7) Hail Mary
All things were made through him, and without him was not
anything made that was made. (Jn 1:3) Hail Mary
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever
you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting
you are God. (Ps 90:2) Hail Mary
“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you
shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to
the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or
your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or
the sojourner who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord
made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the
seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it
holy. (Ex 20:8-11) Hail Mary
He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact
imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his
power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the
right hand of the Majesty on high. (Hb 1:3) Hail Mary
These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when
they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and
the heavens. (Gen 2:4) Hail Mary
For thus says the Lord, who created the heavens (he is
God!), who formed the earth and made it (he established it; he did not
create it empty, he formed it to be inhabited!): “I am the Lord, and
there is no other. (Isa 45:18) Hail Mary
Glory be
Our Father
And they have
conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony,
for they loved not their lives even unto death. (Rev 12:11) Hail
Mary
When
he established the heavens, I was there; when he drew a circle on the
face of the deep, when he made firm the skies above, when he established
the fountains of the deep. (Pro 8:27,28) Hail Mary
The God who made the world and everything in it,
being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man,
nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since
he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything. And he
made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the
earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their
dwelling place, that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way
toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, for
“‘In him we live and move and have our being’; as even some of your own
poets have said, “‘For we are indeed his offspring.’ (Act 17:24-28) Hail
Mary
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new
creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. (2 Cn
5:17) Hail Mary
“You are the Lord, you alone. You have made
heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth
and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them; and you preserve
all of them; and the host of heaven worships you. (Neh 9:6) Hail Mary
For every house is built by someone, but the builder of
all things is God. (Hb 3:4) Hail Mary
“Men, why are you doing these things? We also are
men, of like nature with you, and we bring you good news, that you
should turn from these vain things to a living God, who made the
heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them. (Act 14:15) Hail
Mary
I will say to the north, Give up, and to the south, Do not
withhold; bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the end
of the earth, everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my
glory, whom I formed and made.” (Isa 43:7) Hail Mary
Lift up your eyes on high and see: who created these? He who
brings out their host by number, calling them all by name; by the greatness of
his might and because he is strong in power, not one is missing. (Isa
40:26) Hail Mary
When I look at your heavens, the work of
your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what
is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that
you care for him? (Ps 8:3,4) Hail Mary
Glory be
Our Father
For we know
that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of
childbirth until now. And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who
have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait
eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. (Rm 8:22,23) Hail
Mary
The heavens are
yours; the earth also is yours; the world and all that is in it, you
have founded them. (Ps 89:11) Hail Mary

fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over
the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living
thing that moves on the earth.” (Gen 1:28) Hail Mary
And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the
land raised his right hand to heaven and swore by him who lives
forever and ever, who created heaven and what is in it, the earth and what
is in it, and the sea and what is in it, that there would be no more delay, but
that in the days of the trumpet call to be sounded by the seventh angel,
the mystery of God would be fulfilled, just as he announced to his
servants the prophets. (Rev 10:6) Hail Mary
The oracle of the word of the Lord concerning
Israel: Thus declares the Lord, who stretched out the heavens
and founded the earth and formed the spirit of man within him. (Zec
12:1) Hail Mary
Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, who formed you
from the womb: “I am the Lord, who made all things, who alone stretched
out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself, who frustrates the
signs of liars and makes fools of diviners, who turns wise men back and
makes their knowledge foolish, who confirms the word of his servant and
fulfills the counsel of his messengers, who says of Jerusalem, ‘She shall be
inhabited,’ and of the cities of Judah, ‘They shall be built, and I will
raise up their ruins’; who says to the deep, ‘Be dry; I will dry up your
rivers’; who says of Cyrus, ‘He is my shepherd, and he shall fulfill
all my purpose’; saying of Jerusalem, ‘She shall be built,’ and of the temple,
‘Your foundation shall be laid.’” (Isa 44:24-28) Hail Mary
The Lord God of hosts, he who touches the earth
and it melts, and all who dwell in it mourn, and all of it rises like
the Nile, and sinks again, like the Nile of Egypt; who builds his upper
chambers in the heavens and founds his vault upon the earth; who calls for
the waters of the sea and pours them out upon the surface of the earth— the Lord is
his name. (Amos 9:5,6) Hail Mary
Do you not fear me? declares the Lord. Do you not
tremble before me? I placed the sand as the boundary for the sea, a
perpetual barrier that it cannot pass; though the waves toss, they cannot
prevail; though they roar, they cannot pass over it. (Jer 5:22) Hail
Mary
Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell; they sing
among the branches. From your lofty abode you water
the mountains; the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work. You
cause the grass to grow for the livestock and plants for man to
cultivate, that he may bring forth food from the earth and wine
to gladden the heart of man, oil to make his face shine and bread
to strengthen man's heart. The trees of
the Lord are watered abundantly, the cedars of Lebanon that
he planted. In them the birds build their
nests; the stork has her home in the fir trees. The
high mountains are for the wild goats; the rocks are a refuge for the
rock badgers. He made the moon to mark the seasons;
the sun knows it’s time for setting. You make darkness,
and it is night, when all the beasts of the forest creep about. The
young lions roar for their prey, seeking their food from God. When
the sun rises, they steal away and lie down in their dens. Man
goes out to his work and to his labor until the evening. O Lord,
how manifold are your works! In wisdom have you made them all; the earth
is full of your creatures. Here is the sea, great and
wide, which teems with creatures innumerable, living things both small and
great. There go the ships, and Leviathan, which you formed to play in
it. These all look to you, to give them their
food in due season. When you give it to them, they
gather it up; when you open your hand, they are filled with good things. When
you hide your face, they are dismayed; when you take away their
breath, they die and return to their dust. When you send forth your
Spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of the ground. May
the glory of the Lord endure forever; may
the Lord rejoice in his works, who looks on the earth and
it trembles, who touches the mountains and they smoke! I will sing to
the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have
being. May my meditation be pleasing to him, for I
rejoice in the Lord. Let sinners be consumed from the earth, and let
the wicked be no more! Bless the Lord, O my soul! Praise the Lord! (Ps
104:12-35) Hail Mary
He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has
put eternity into man’s heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done
from the beginning to the end. (Ecc 3:11) Hail Mary
Glory be
Our Father
And God
said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and
every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: I have
set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me
and the earth. When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the
clouds, I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living
creature of all flesh. (Gen 9:12-15) Hail Mary
“It is I
who by my great power and my outstretched arm have made the earth,
with the men and animals that are on the earth, and I give it to whomever
it seems right to me. (Jer 27:5) Hail Mary
And he said, “Go out and stand on the mount before
the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and
strong wind tore the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before
the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind an
earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. And after the
earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire
the sound of a low whisper. And when Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face
in his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. And
behold, there came a voice to him and said, “What are you doing here,
Elijah?” (1 Kg 19:11-13) Hail Mary
The whole nature of the universe was changed at your command
so that your people would not be harmed. (Wd 19:6) Hail Mary
In his hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the
mountains are his also. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands
formed the dry land. (Ps 95:4,5) Hail Mary
“Hear this, O Job; stop and consider the wondrous
works of God. Do you know how God lays his command upon
them and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine? Do
you know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who
is perfect in knowledge, you whose garments are hot when the earth is
still because of the south wind? (Job 37:14-17) Hail Mary
O Lord, how manifold are your works! In wisdom
have you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. Here is the sea,
great and wide, which teems with creatures innumerable, living things both
small and great. (Ps 104:24,25) Hail Mary
The wild beasts will honor me, the jackals and the
ostriches, for I give water in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give
drink to my chosen people, the people whom I formed for myself that they
might declare my praise. (Isa 43:20,21) Hail Mary
How beautiful is the bright, clear sky above us! What a
glorious sight it is! The sun, when it appears, proclaims as it rises how
marvelous a thing it is, made by the Most High. At noon
it dries up the land; no one can stand its blazing heat. The setting sun
sets fire to the hilltops, like a metal furnace glowing from the heat. It sends
out fiery rays, blinding the eyes with its brightness. (Sir 43:1-4) Hail
Mary
You are altogether
beautiful, my love; there is no flaw in you. (Song 4:7) Hail Mary
Glory be
