Oratio Imperata Prayer of Deliverance from Calamities
Almighty Father, we raise our hearts to You in gratitude for the wonders of creation of which we are part, for Your providence that sustains 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 our wrongdoings and now we reap the harvest of our abuse & indifference. Inclement weather, typhoons, hurricanes, floods, drought, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and other calamities occur in increasing number & intensity.
We turn to You our loving Father and beg forgiveness for our sins.
We ask You to spare our loved ones and our hard-earned possessions 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. Console and help all those who are suffering and grant eternal rest to all who have perished.
We ask this through Our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen.
O Most Holy Trinity, Triune God, deliver us from all dangers and have mercy on us!
Mary, Help of Christians, pray for us!
