Prayer for water
Heavenly
Father, Almighty God, Lord God, Most High.
As I am
using water to wash myself, to drink and to live; I want to thank you for this
most precious gift.
I bless
water in your Holy Name and I ask you to bless it once more, so that we may
continue to enjoy this gift.
You sanctified water even at the beginning of creation as Your Spirit hovered
above the waters. You sanctified water in such way, that we learned in the Holy
Scriptures that several times you miraculously washed lepers clean, and then you
sanctified water in the person of Your Son Jesus Christ as He was baptized with
water in the Jordan river.
We become sanctified by baptism with water in the name of the Father, the Son
and the Holy Spirit.
Water in
indispensable to life, it has a great similarity to Your Spirit. In You we live,
we move and have our being. We would die without you. In the same way in water
we live, we move and have our being. Without water we would die. Your spirit
cleanses our souls of our sins just as water cleanses our bodies.
You have
invited us to drink of the living waters of Your Spirit so that we may live
eternally; we also need to drink water in order to live our earthly existence.
Thanks to
water we have food that comes from the earth that has been irrigated in order to
be fertile. Water brings life to creation.
I bless the rivers in your holy name; I bless the lakes, the oceans, the ice
deposits, the mountains and all the sources of water including those deposits
under the surface of the earth. I bless the water in the atmosphere.
It is said that 80% of our bodies is water. I bless the water in my body too.
Lord my God, please bless water once more.
I look around and I see that water is becoming very scarce. The good water that
we need so much is disappearing. You promised to Noah that we would not be
punished by floods anymore and yet I see that because we have disappointed You
with our sins we are receiving your Justice by way of water.
Too much
water caused by storms and heavy rains is becoming a great problem. The floods
are causing destruction to crops, property, animals and human life. Many poor
people are becoming homeless and unemployed because of the calamities caused by
water.
By
contrast lack of water is causing a lot of human suffering and many areas of the
earth are having draughts which are causing many losses. We are losing our
crops, animals are dying, the earth is becoming useless and many human beings
are losing their lives too.
The
weather is becoming a great problem, sometimes we are having either too much
rain other times too little. Sometimes it is becoming too hot other times it is
too cold. The weather is out of control.
Blessed Lord, my God, please sanctify water once more. Forgive us our sins, send
the living waters of Your Holy Spirit to purify us. Change us, restore us to the
sanctity you intended for us.
Bless the
water of the earth, bless mother nature once more, so that we have more moderate
weather throughout the world. Lord God, You are a God of control, please bless
the work of Your hands, bless us and bless the water that we need so much. Bless
the earth and bless us your creatures the temples of Your Holy Spirit.
Lord,
since I am a sinner I have nothing to offer you in exchange for this petition,
but I offer you the merits of the incarnation, life, sufferings and death of
Jesus Christ Your Son. Lord, please don’t look at our sins but at the faith of
your Church. I offer you the Most Precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of
Your dearly Beloved Son in atonement for all the sins committed against the ten
commandments. I also offer You all the Holy Masses offered in the past, those
that are being offered now and those that will be offered in time and eternity.
I also pray to You Blessed Virgin Mary our Heavenly Mother, to intercede for us
in our sufferings.
Amen.
