..PRAYER AGAINST BAD WEATHER O Master, Lord our God, who through your consubstantial and Eternal Word, and your life-giving Spirit who is equal in honor, you have brought everything out of nothingness into being; you have set sandy barriers to the sea, and weighed the mountains and the valleys in a balance; you have measured the skies and hold the water in the palm of your hand; you have given to this visible world of the senses its laws and rules, its harmony and order, you have appointed changes to the weather and variations in the orbit of the sun; you, through the mingling of the elements, hold all things together by your inexpressible power, and kept them free from harm and intact; Do not deprive us of your mercies and your compassion, and do not destroy your inheritance, for you have ineffably created us in your own image. You have given your only-begotten Son as a ransom for us, and through the mystical communion of your Spirit have made us share in your own divinity; forgive, we pray, the multitude of our sins in the far greater multitude of your mercies. You washed away the sin of mankind through the Cross and the Blood of your Son: Restore the world of nature, which has been grievously disturbed into an unnatural state because of the unruliness and disorderliness of our lawless and corrupt behavior, and bring it back to its natural harmony and order. Make the great ocean return to its usual calmness, bring to end the tempest and the disturbance of the elements that threatens us, order the winds to blow once more with gentleness and moderation. Rebuke the raging of the sea and the unnatural violence of the gales; let the spirit of the storm be still and the tempest return to tranquility. Through the intercessions of the most blessed Lady Theotokos, of the God-like Angels and all the Saints, and through the good pleasure and love of your only-begotten Son with whom you are blessed, together with your all-holy and good and life-giving Spirit, now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
