Oratio Imperata ad fluviam petendam

In the light of the pressing need of our people for the gift of rain, the Archdiocese of Lingayen-Dagupan upon the instruction of Archbishop Oscar V. Cruz, DD, JCD, will be invoking the mercy of God in all Eucharistic celebrations starting the evening mass of the 18th Sunday in Ordinary Time, 5 August 2007. The following will be the Intercessory Prayers during the masses, in English and Pangasinan:

Oratio Imperata ad Fluviam Petendam (Obligatory Prayer Begging for Rain)

Presider: Heavenly Father, you are the Lord of Creation and the source of all blessings. With a Father's care you provide for all our needs. With confidence we come seeking your blessings in our troubled times as we say:

FATHER, WE BEG FOR YOUR MERCY AND FAVOR!

Leader: You have made us stewards of creation , but we have at times been irresponsible and have not take good care of your gifts. And so we pray.

Leader: You have the given the goods of the earth for the benefit of all. But at times we have been greedy and selfish and have taken advantage of the weak, and so we pray.

Leader: You provide for all the needs of your creation, even the birds of the air and fishes of the seas and rivers seek your providence. We, your children, in our great need beg for rain to enable us to plant and till our lands. And so we pray.

Leader: Your prophet Elijah of old brought Israel back to true worship of you after which you sent them the rain they so wanted. We now also turn our back on our evil ways and seek to worship you in truth. We beseech You bless us with the rain we need. And so we pray.

Presider: Loving Father, all times and seasons follow your will. Grant us the rain that we need. We make this prayer through the one who even makes the wind and waves obey Him, Your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
