ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL PRAYER ~ SOWING THE SEEDS O God, open our eyes and ears to the presence of Your Holy Spirit. May the seed of Your Word scattered among us fall on the fertile land and through the Annual Catholic Appeal make us good stewards in faith. May these seeds take root in our hearts and lives and produce an abundant harvest of good words and deeds. Fortify us for difficult times that we may endure. Deliver us from distraction and all that may confuse us and choke us with false promises. Till us, turn us, and enrich us with every blessing of your spirit that we may be fruitful and forever faithful for you. Amen
