ORATIO IMPERATA in times of calamities, deluge, and pestilence. ALMIGHTY FATHER, we raise our hearts to You in gratitude for the wonders of creation of which we are part, for Your providence in sustaining us in our needs, and for Your wisdom that guides the course of the universe. We acknowledge our sins against You and the rest of creation. We have not been good stewards of Nature. We have confused Your command to subdue the earth. The environment is made to suffer by our wrongdoing, and now we reap the harvest of our abuse and indifference. Typhoons, floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruption, and other natural calamities occur in increasing number and intensity. We turn to You, our loving Father, and beg for forgiveness for our sins. We ask that we, our loved ones and our hard-earned possessions be spared from the threat of calamities, natural and man-made. We beseech You to inspire us all to grow into responsible stewards of Your creation, and generous neighbors to those in need. Amen. ========================== OUR BELOVED INTERCESSORS: Mother Mary, Most Immaculate Queen of Heaven and Earth, pray for us. (Secondary Patroness of the Philippines) St. Rose of Lima, pray for us.
