Oratio Imperata

To be prayed after the Post Communion Prayer (before the Final Blessing) in all Masses from March 1 to May 15, 2010)

Lord God the creator of all things
Your Spirit moved over the face of the waters at the dawn of creation
You gather the seas into their places and direct the courses of the rivers
We praise you for the gift of water
Now our land is dry and barren, thirsting for life-giving rain
Send rain upon the earth so that it will bring forth life
May we use only the water we each need
And let us take care of and give encouragement to
All those whose livelihood depend on the produce of the land.

After every invocation please say: We beseech you hear us.

Jesus, Our Lord
We beseech you hear us
Jesus our Lord, protect all tillers of the soil
We beseech you, hear us
Jesus our Lord, bring to all a true knowledge of the stewardship of the land
We beseech you hear us
Jesus our Lord, preserve and increase our fields and flocks. We beseech you hear us
Jesus our Lord, bless our fields We beseech you hear us
San Isidro, pray for us.

Let us Pray

Sustaining God, we receive the fruits of the earth from your generous hand, yet now we observe the eager earth frustrated by lack of rain.

Have mercy Almighty God on our parched land.
Bring peace to our worried minds and soothe our anxious hearts now and forever.

Amen

The Pangasinan Translation

Katawan min Dios, Manamalsay amin ya ganagana
Linmaknab so Ispiritu Yo ed tapew na danum nen kagapoy panamalsa
Tinipon Yo ray dayat diad saray pasen da tan inturo Yoy panagosan na saray ilog.
Idadayew mi Kayo ed say langkap Yod sikamin danum.
Natan namamagaan tan aliwa lan mabona so dalin min napapaet ed say napanbilayan ya oran.

Ibaki Yo pay oran ed mundo pian sikatoy makapangiter na bilay.
Oy la kumon ta say nakaukolan mi labat lan danum so usaren mi
Tan naasikaso mi kumon tan napabiskeg mi linawa da ray
Amin ya say panbibilay da et maniilalo labat lad saray bunga na dalin.

Kada kasumpal na pikakasi, say ebat: Talineng Yo kami.

Jesus, a Katawan mi
Talineng Yo kami
Jesus, a Katawan mi, ilaban Yo pa ray amin ya dumaralos na dalin
Talineng Yo kami
Jesus, a Katawan mi, iter Yod amin so tuan kakabatan na nipaakar ed say panangasikaso na dalin

Mikasi tayo

Dios a managlegpet, nanaawat mi ray bunga-bunga na dalin ya manlalapud mabunlok ya lima Yo, balet natan, nanaimatonan mi so mapilalek ya dalin a nalelepes lapud say kakulangan na oran.

Itdan Yo pay kareenan so nagogonigon ya kanunotan mi, tan tambayoen Yo pa ray mapagan kapusoan mi, natan tan diad ando lan ando.

Amen.

Oratio Imperata (Mandated Prayer)

(Prayer by Most Rev. Oscar V. Cruz, DD, Archbishop of Lingayen-Dagupan)

OH, GOD OUR FATHER:

IN FAITH WE ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR PATERNAL CARE OVER US, YOUR SONS, DAUGHTERS AND CHILDREN. IN HOPE WE TRUST IN YOUR DIVINE PROVIDENCE OF GIVING US WISDOM AND COURAGE AS WE FACE THE CHALLENGES OF LIFE. IN LOVE WE INVOKE YOUR HELP AND GUIDANCE DURING THESE DIFFICULT DAYS OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION IN OUR DEAR COUNTRY.

OURS IS A PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING FOR ONCE AGAIN REMINDING US THAT OURS IS AN IMPERFECT WORLD, THAT HEAVEN IS NOT ON EARTH AND THAT NATURE EVERY NOW AND THEN TELLS US NOT TO ABUSE HER. OURS TOO IS A PRAYER OF REPENTANCE FOR CALLING UPON YOU WHEN WE ARE IN NEED AND DESPERATION BUT FORGETTING YOU IN FAVORABLE TIMES AND PLEASING OCCASIONS. OURS AS WELL IS A PRAYER OF PETITION AS WE SAY:

GRANT ETERNAL PEACE TO THOSE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES. EMBRACE THE CHILDREN WHO DIED IN THEIR INNOCENCE. HELP THOSE WHO ARE HURT AND CURE THOSE WHO ARE SICK.

ENCOURAGE THOSE WHO SUFFER THE DESTRUCTION OF THEIR HOMES AND PROPERTIES, AND TO ONCE AGAIN STAND UP AND REBUILD THEIR FUTURE.

BLESS ALL THOSE WHO EXTEND THEIR HELPING HANDS TO THOSE IN NEED OF FOOD, SHELTER AND CLOTHING, WHO SHARE THEIR TIME, TALENTS AND RESOURCES WITH OTHERS.

INSPIRE MORE PEOPLE TO BE MEN AND WOMEN FOR THEIR NEIGHBORS, CONVINCED THAT THE MORE THEY ARE FOR OTHERS, THE TALLER THEY STAND BEFORE YOU.

SPARE US PLEASE FROM OTHER NATURAL DISASTERS AND DEVASTATIONS IF THIS BE ACCORDING TO YOUR WILL AND FOR OUR OWN SPIRITUAL GOOD AND GROWTH.

AMEN AND AMEN.
