Tine, a network of Catholic leaders and groups promoting evangelisation has appealed to its members and friends to pray for rain with this prayer: “O God, our Creator, you are the source of all life. We pray to you who calm the raging waters and command the wind to provide us sufficient rain to meet our needs. We also pray for all those who are suffering from natural disasters.
“Help us to always be good stewards of your creation and care for the many resources of this earth. May your grace refresh our souls.”
