I love the "I don't have control over the harvest"
Having spent years preparing "the soil" for my children &then see them rejecting or hiding from God this phrase gives me so much hope. I have lost things as they've grown into adults & away from my care, but I've planted & cannot control the harvest.
Just after I finished this post I was at church. and we sang a song "Nothing is lost on the Breath of God, nothing is lost forever. God's breath is love and that love will remain, holding the world forever" It was very comforting as I thought of some of the things I have lost especially as my husband's memory fades. I think of that as I read your comment too. None of the seeds you planted in your children are lost on the Breath of God's love. A beautiful thought to hold onto and meditate on.
How heartening to receive that pertinent prayer from the late Pope Francis: may he rest in peace.
Yes it is a beautiful prayer to use during this season
