Heavenly Father, King of the Universe,
you are the sole source of growth and
abundance. With your help I plant my                                                                                                                                                crops and by your power they give forth a
harvest. Grant me the grace always to
work with all my strength and ingenuity
in cultivating the soil so that it will bring
forth fruits for my benefit and the benefit
of all who will use them. Make me ever
cognizant that without my part in the work
of hamessing the goods of the earth these
particular goods would be lacking to my
brothers and sisters in this world. Enable
me at the same time to realize that without
your part in this process I would be working
in vain. Accept my thanks for your
continuous help in the past and your never-
failing assistance in the future.
