God our loving Father, creator of our earth and of the universe, and all the wondrous elements of nature that sustain your living creatures, we humble ask you to send us the rain that our country needs so badly at this time, to irrigate our fields, to stave off a power shortage, to provide water for our bodily health, and to refresh our parched lands.

At your command the wind and the seas obey, raise your hand Almighty God to commence the normal rainy season that has now been long delayed so that crisis may be averted.

Merciful and generous God, instill in us a deep love for this earth and all that is in and around it. And at this time of crisis, dear Lord, move us to share more, to serve more and to love more.

Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ who loves and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen.

Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us.

Saint Joseph, pray for us.

Saint Lorenzo Ruiz, pray for us.

Saint Pedro Calungsod, pray for us.
