I. PRELIMINARY ACTIVITY: (2 MINUTES)
The students stand and solemnly join the prayer.
Oratio Imperata – Prayer in Times of 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. Global warming is upon us. Typhoons, floods, volcanic
eruption and other calamities occur in increasing number & intensity.
We turn to You our loving Father and beg 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.
