"But you ask, 'How have we ever shown contempt for your name?'
Malachi 1:6

Matthew 21:28-29
Jesus, you are a tireless and prudent gardener. Let us honor you with the fruits that we bear. Help us to clear away the thorns and brambles in our lives that do not honor you. Jesus, help us to be more like you. In your name, we pray. Amen.
