Pray for the Bees
We’d love to invite you to pray for a successful and abundant harvest.
The Church has, for millennia, realized the importance of praying for good conditions to bring forth an abundant harvest of food for our community to enjoy. We’d love to invite you to take a quick moment to pray the following prayer for the success of all local farmers, including our own honey harvest:
“O glorious St. Joseph, foster father of Jesus, you did provide for the Holy Family.
We commit to your protection all the crops, farms, and hives of our community, especially the beehives of Exsultet Apiary. We beseech you, to intercede in our behalf with Almighty God, Who rules the seasons, so that our land being safe from pests and favored by the weather may yield abundant crops and nectar that will allow us to supply the wants of life. Thus freed from earthly worries may we after your example apply all our thoughts to eternal life. We beseech you to instill a love of the land into the hearts of our youth for their own salvation and that of Christian unity so that we may all share hereafter in the same blissful life you enjoy in heaven.
