    "Manila Archbishop Gaudencio Cardinal Rosales on Wednesday urged
    priests and the laity to storm the heavens with prayers and seek
    divine intervention for more rains to come.

    Rosales said “the lack of rains in what is already the rainy season of
    the country calls for divine intervention.�

    “Our relief will come from nature. And so we implore the Master of all
    creation, God, our Father, at whose command the winds and the seas
    obey, to send us rain,� the cardinal said in a statement.

    Rosales issued an Oratio Imperata Ad Petendam Pluviam (Obligatory
    Prayer to Request for Rain) and Intercessory Prayers for Rain to be
    said in all Masses in the Archdiocese of Manila beginning Friday.

    The Oratio Imperata was issued to all parish priests, shrine rectors,
    chaplains and school directors.

    The prayer for rains will be said until the rains come, said
    archdiocese spokesperson Peachy Yamsuan.

    by watching the doc Secret Law of Attraction. I found new meaning in the power of prayers.

    for instance, I always pray na please Lord please make me more happy and free and open-minded so that I can be a better person to others. since July, more than 10 times kami nag-aaway ng wife ko
