Prayer

Most high and great God, Father
Creator of heaven and earth
In the name of your only begotten son Jesus Christ,
Through the Holy Spirit
And with the intercession of Mary our mother

We ask you to teach us to prepare the good soil of our souls
To receive the seed of your Word which you desire to give us today
Through events, people and Holy Scripture;

That this Word may not fall on the path of our distractions,
Nor on the rocks of our superficiality
Nor among the thorns of our anxieties
But that it may bear abundant fruit for eternal life
And for the good of the Kingdom of Heaven.
