Oratio Imperata for Protection Against Calamities, Typhoons, and Floods
Almighty God, Father of all creation, we come to You in our need, acknowledging Your power and total control over all nature. Look upon us with mercy as we face the threat of severe weather, strong winds, and rising waters.
Forgive us for our sins and for our shortcomings in caring for the earth You have entrusted to us. In Your great mercy, shield us from the destruction of typhoons, landslides, and flooding. Calm the raging storms, quiet the winds, and command the floodwaters to recede.
Protect our families, our homes, and our livelihoods. Keep safe all those who are vulnerable, those who are displaced, and the brave first responders who put their lives at risk to help others. Grant wisdom, strength, and compassion to our leaders and community helpers.
Through Your grace, keep us unharmed in body, mind, and spirit, so that we may continue to serve You and love one another in safety and peace.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever.
Amen.
Mary, Help of Christians, Pray for us.
Saint Michael the Archangel,
Defend us in battle and protect us from all harm.
All Holy Angels and Saints, Pray for us.
