We invite all parishioners, your families and friends, and everyone throughout the community to join in a prayer for rain. Our region in particular has faced the devastating effects of a wildfire. All life is nourished with the blessing of rain and we are certainly facing a drought in Santa Barbara County.
“God, you send rains in season. It is a season of need in Santa Barbara, in California, and in the West. Find a small and willing cloud sitting bored over the ocean, and give it a push toward us. Make a strong wind for us, not strong enough to hurt and destroy, but filled with moisture and send it us.
We ask you for rain. Let the drought unite many millions to ask you for help. We trust in you. You made the world to need the waters of heaven. You made the world to need the waters of life. You are the source of rain. We ask you: Let it rain. In your Son’s name, we pray.”
