The Good Ground

O Mary,
you are the good ground on which the seed fell.
You have brought forth fruit a hundredfold.
Draw us close to your loving heart
and keep us there in gentle lowliness and perfect trust.
Teach us to receive the Sacred Word,
to ponder it in silence and yield a rich harvest.
Teach us to be apostles of love.
