Oratio Imperata Ad Petendam Pluviam

“God our loving Father, Maker of all Creation, look kindly on us Your
Children in this Earth You have given us as our home, as we plead You to
shorten the life of El Niño now threatening our country with prolonged
drought, extreme weather, and low water supply.

“O merciful God forgive us our ecological sins that have contributed to this
adverse phenomenon; Forgive our indifference to the groans and suffering
of Mother Earth; Forgive us our wastefulness, our disregard for the value of
the gifts of creation You have given us. We promise to repent for our sins
by following the Gospel of Creation, and by caring for and being mindful of
your Creation in all that we do.

“Give us the strength and wisdom to be good stewards of your creation and
to protect the environment from abuse and exploitation. “At this time of
impending crisis move us, dear Lord, to share more, serve more and love
more.

“Loving God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, you entrusted the Filipino
people to the special care of Mary our Mother, listen to the prayers, we
bring up to you through her, and grant us our petitions through our Lord
Jesus Christ who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
One God for ever and ever. Amen.
