Rejoice! Today, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Her birth brought hope and light to the world, preparing the way for the coming of her Son, Jesus.

Let us honor her by praying the rosary and reflecting on her virtuous life. Happy birthday, Mama Mary!

Mama Mary, please intercede for us! 🙏🏼

THE ORATIO IMPERATA
A Prayer 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 our wrongdoing, and now we reap the harvest of our abuse and indifference.

Global warming is upon us. Typhoons, floods, volcanic eruption, and other natural calamities occur in increasing number and 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.
In Jesus Name.
Amen.”

Hail Mary, full of grace!
The Lord is with you.
Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of your womb, Jesus!

Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
