Prayer on the Solstice

A new season begins today, Lord...
Bless our garden with blossoms and fruit
Let the butterflies come and
drink their nectar
Let the bees spread the pollen
Bless the soil with sunshine and rain
and warm nights
and not more weeds than we can pull.
Let us harvest with joy and thanksgiving
Your generous bounty.
Help us, Lord, to tend our lives
as a garden —
with gentleness, patience, hard work,
loving care, respect, humility,
and acceptance.
Let us grow to bear the
full fruit of Your Love everyday,
To feed each other
and all of Your creation.

Happy Summer!
