Loving Father,
You are patient with us and continually give us opportunities to grow.
Help us respond to Your grace rather than postpone conversion.
Give us patience with ourselves and with others as we grow in faith.
Soften our hearts, teach us generosity and restore our hope.
May our lives bear fruit that nourishes those around us
and gives witness to Your transforming love.
Amen.
Columban Daily Prayer
Patiently Bearing Fruit
