Wildflowers, Mt Ellinor, Washington USA
Like a farmer that nourishes the soil, let us nurture our souls so that we might yield fruit “a hundred or sixty or thirtyfold”. Let us trust in the Lord and his love for us. Let us remain humble, focused on loving God and neighbor. Let us grow in passion for an understanding of the word of God and participation in his sacraments. Let us grow in virtue including the virtues of fortitude (patience, endurance and courage), temperance (moderation of our desires for worldly things), justice (giving someone or something what is rightly due), and prudence (the wisdom that guides our daily decisions).
