Gardener of our souls and vine to our branches, help us to hear and understand what you are saying to us that we might take into our hearts your message and bear the fruit of love, joy, and peace as you desire, through you who lives and reigns in trinitarian unity, one God in heaven, world without end. Amen.
“But as for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and yields in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty.” – Matthew 13:23
