CHOICE VINES
PROVIDENT FATHER, Your Eternal Word reassures the human family. You keep your promises to those who abide in your love. Guide us to walk in the holy way of your commandments. May we be choice vines planted in the midst of our Saviours heart, watered by His Spirit, and nourished by His love. May we bear abundant fruit in the vineyard of the Church. We glorify you, Father, in the fruitful vine of your Son.
GIVE US the courage each day to declare I will to your Law of Love. Inspire us to tithe the first fruits of our share in the mighty harvest of your vineyard. That your Son may give us his joy and our joy be made complete, we pray through Christ our Lord. Amen.
