Amos 9:13-15:

Behold the days come, when the ploughman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed, and the mountains shall dop sweetness, and every hill shall be tilled. And I will bring back the captivity of My people Israel, and they shall build the abandoned cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine of them; and shall make gardens and eat the fruits of them; and I will plant them upon their land: and I will no more pluck them out of their land which I have given them; saith the Lord thy God.

AdVENT Embertide

Four times a year, the Church sets aside three days to focus on God through His marvelous creation. These quarterly periods take place around the beginnings of the four natural seasons. These four times are each kept on a successive Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday and are known as "Ember Days," or Quatuor Tempora, in Latin. The first of these four times comes in Winter, after the the Feast of St. Lucy; the second comes in Spring, the week after Ash Wednesday; the third comes in Summer, after Pentecost Sunday; and the last comes in Autumn, after Holy Cross Day. Their dates can be remembered by this old mnemonic:

Sant Crux, Lucia, Cineres, Charismata Dia
Ut sit in angaria quarta sequens feria.

Which means:

Holy Cross, Lucy, Ash Wednesday, Pentecost,
are when the quarter holidays follow.

Embertides are spent fasting and partially abstaining (voluntary since the new Code of Canon Law) in penance and with the intentions of thanking God for the gifts He gives us in nature and asking Him for the discipline to use them in moderation. The fasts, known as "Jejunia quatuor temporum," or "the fast of the four seasons," are rooted in Old Testament practices of fasting four times a year:

Zacharias 8:19:
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth shall be to the house of Juda, joy, and gladness, and great solemnities: only love ye truth and peace.

This fast is preceded by Hildegard Novena (free) so sign up for full experience:

Sometimes people rely on the supernatural without respecting the natural. Sometimes people rely on the natural and disregard the supernatural.

Science gives some explanation about the gift of life, discovering the neurobiological, electromagnetic, physical, energetic processes of the body which aim at self-regulating and healing what is disturbed.

Continual harmonization of all aspects of human being’s life and function is what God intended for us to walk through on this earth.

Sometimes, what some would call supernatural is natural applied correctly. Sometimes just by providing safe environment for triggering God-given self-healing is impossible to track as supernatural or natural because they overlap to the extend that is scientifically or spiritually impossible to divide.

Grace of God triggering the nervous system to provide optimal physical state in any given moment (during prayer or therapy or viewing sunset or talking to a friend) to unblock the ‘stronghold’ of trauma or biochemical unbalance or emotions ‘stored’ in our bodies lead to a process or instantaneous chain reaction of body’s and soul’s aligning and agreeing to calm, restore, renew, and recreate.

Free introduction to a medieval polymath, newest female Doctor of the Church, Hildegard von Bingen, who combined natural and supernatural, understanding 800 years ago the wholeness and interdependence of body, soul and spirit, will take place during Novena prayer, Sept. 8 -16 (followed by Ember Days Fast)
