On this Mothers' Day, let us pray for each one of the mothers in Ukraine, all of whom have been and are still affected by the unprovoked invasion of their country by Russia.  

Lord, O the Great and Almighty, protect our beloved Ukraine. Bless her with freedom and light of your holy rays. With learning and knowledge enlighten us, your children small. In love pure and everlasting let us, O Lord, grow.   We pray O Lord Almighty, protect our beloved Ukraine. Grant our people and country all your kindness and grace. Bless us with freedom, bless us with wisdom. Guide us into a kind world.  Bless us, O Lord, with good fortune for evermore.

March 21 announces the beginning of spring.  Yet in Canada we know that the spring equinox is a cruel hoax as winter will not loosen its grip for many weeks.  By May, as the weather finally aligns with the season, our thoughts begin to settle on our gardens.  Clean-up of winter debris done, we must decide what to plant.  Will it be perennials or annuals?  Will there be particular colour featured in our gardens this season?  What about a vegetable garden?  For those of us in apartments or condos, our gardens are in pots with herbs and hardy plants that can withstand balcony winds.  

The Bible is full of illustrations and lessons involving planting and sowing.  Jesus spoke to his disciples of sowing spiritual seeds and gathering a spiritual harvest.  In II Corinthians 9 Paul writes,   

 The point is this:  the one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows  bountifully will also reap bountifully.   Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not  reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.  He who  supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the  harvest of your  righteousness.  

How can we sow bountifully so that the spiritual harvest will be bountiful?  By giving our time, skills, energy and money to God’s work here at Christ’s Church Cathedral.
