Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle urged the faithful to pray the “Oratio Imperata for Deliverance from Calamaties” in connection with the  impending landfall of typhoon Ruby in Central Philippines on Saturday.

“Let us pray this “Oratio Imperata for Deliverance from Calamaties” in our churches beginning tonight (December 5, 2014) until it is lifted,” he said in a statement.

With this, he asked the people to pray for those that will be affected.

“Let our preparations include prayer. Let us humble ourselves and seek the mercy and compassion of God at this time of impending peril and destruction,” Tagle said.

He added, “Along with our prayer for mercy and deliverance to God our Father, let us fill our hearts with compassion for those who are hungry, homeless, isolated by floods, threatened by strong winds and landslides. Let us pray that they may find food, shelter, and safety.”

The head of the Archdiocese of Manila said that people should not panic; “instead let us focus on being prepared and on being of help. Let us heed all typhoon warnings and all advisories from the government agencies that monitor this type of situations.”

The Oratio Imperata for Deliverance from Calamities is as follows:

Almighty Father, we raise our hearts to you in gratitude for the wonders of creation, 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 your creation.

We turn to you, our loving Father and beg forgiveness for our sins.

We pray to you for protection from calamities, from the floods and raging waters brought by storms,from howling winds that destroy our homes,from the loosening of earth that brings landslides.

Calm the storm and keep us all safe and far from harm these perilous days and always.

We ask this through Your Son Jesus Christ who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit now and forever. Amen.
