“A sower went to sow.”

Provident Father, everything that is good is from you. We owned nothing but sin. Grant us the grace of fruitfulness. May your life-giving words grow within us. Constantly nurture in us the seed of your Word. Grant us the grace of constant humility so that we may become good and fertile soul, in order for the word of your Son, our Lord and Saviour, to bear fruit each day. Heal us in our woundedness.

We ask this through our Lord Jesus, your Son, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, One God, forever and ever.

Amen.
