Recall sprouts and shoots of growth you see in yourself, in people around you, in your parish, your place of work, in our world.
LEADER: Jesus, you are the seed that has fallen into our earth and lived.
ALL: In you we see God’s irrepressible life.
LEADER: Let us name a sign of growth that we see around us for which we are grateful.
Take time to name signs of growth.
LEADER: (Gives out seeds and plants to those gathered.) You call us to plant our gifts in one another’s lives with the hope of furious blooming.
ALL: May our love give life. Amen.
