The Parable of the Sower
Remember us, O Lord, by your loving care!
Jesus taught his disciples with parables.
He said to them, “Listen!
One day a farmer went out sowing…”
So that your Word in us, Lord,
does not fall on the roadside and Satan remove it from our hearts
We pray to you.
So that your Word in us, Lord,
does not fall on rocky ground and we be fickle at our first temptation,
We pray to you.
So that your Word in us, Lord,
does not fall among thorns and the cares of life
and the enticement or riches choke it,
We pray to you.
So that your Word in us, Lord,
falls on rich and fertile soil and we yeild fruit in abundance
We pray to you.
Lord Jesus,
Sower of all the good that is in the world,
place in us the seeds of goodness and justice.
Let our land yield a harvest of brotherly love
and sheaves of joy for eternal life.
(Lucien Deiss, Biblical Prayers)
