Today is the blessed day on which we thank Almighty God for the blessings of the Harvest.
Fruit and vegetable, grains and our needs are provided for by our Great Creator.
Men and women work throughout the year, toiling in the fields and on the farms, working together with the creative forces of Nature blessed by God to bring forth the food which nourishes us and keeps us healthy and strong.
May we remember all those who selflessly work in agriculture, dairy farming and the provision of food; it is a vocation, and essential for our community. May blessings and strength be yours, and may your families be blessed.
Many places of worship today are decorated with the colourful beauty of vegetables and fruits; plums, apples, pumpkins and turnips; wheat, tomatoes, carrots and corncobs.
Thanks to our Heavenly Father for giving us the health and strength over the past year to bring forth this beautiful Harvest, which will keep us safe through the winter months. Let us pray for our farmers and food providers, that strength and health be theirs as they carry out their work which benefits us, the community.
