Holy and loving God,
Just as the gardener cares for what he has planted, so we nourish our growth with your tender care.
When our sins and offenses keep us from flourishing and bearing good fruit, you offer us your gift of forgiveness and the chance to begin again.
May our Lenten fast prune us of those habits of word and deed that prevent your grace from flowing in our lives.
May our Lenten prayer fertilize the roots of new growth in holiness.
May our Lenten almsgiving bring forth blossoms of generosity and good will toward all your creation.
Amen.
