Prayer for Sufficient Rain . . .

After a relatively dry winter, we reallly could use some rain to catch up on the moisture we require to do mundane things like water our gardens, wash our clothes, and ourselves . . .! Here is a prayer we have been offering for the last few months. I thought I'd share it in order to get the petition to Heaven going a bit stronger!

PRAYER FOR RAIN

Oh God, in Whom we live and move, and have our being, grant us rain, in due abundance, that, being sufficiently helped with temporal, we may the more confidently seek after eternal gifts. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

(Prayer Source: Novena in Honor of St. Ididore: Patron of Farmers by National Catholic Rural Life Conference.)
