Septuagesima to Quinquagesima — Sunday Called Sexagesima — The Sower (2)
W. Rigby MurraySuffer not, O God, the good seed which the Son of Man hath sown to be caught away by the wicked one out of our hearts, or to be scorched by tribulation or persecution, or to be choked with cares and pleasures of this life; but grant that, being received into honest and good hearts, it may bring forth in abundance the fruits of righteousness; through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
