Since man is both a spiritual and physical being, the Church provides for the needs of man in his everyday life The Church’s liturgy and feasts in many areas reflect the four seasons of the year (spring, summer, fall, winter). The months of August, September, October, November are part of the harvest season. As Christians we recall God’s constant protection over his people, and give thanksgiving for the year’s harvest. “Go and keep company with Jesus in His passion, and with His Sorrowful Mother.” ~ St. Padre Pio.
