I. For fruitful seasons

Collect

I. Almighty God, Lord of heaven and earth: We humbly pray that thy gracious providence may give and preserve to our use the harvests of the land and of the seas, and may prosper all who labor to gather them, that we, who constantly receive good things from thy hand, may always give thee thanks; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Prayer over the Gifts

God our Father, you provide the human race with food for strength, and with the Eucharist for its renewal; may these Gifts which we offer always bring us health of mind and body. Grant this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
