The Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) has issued a special prayer, an "oratio imperata" for peace, in response to rising tensions in the West Philippine Sea.

This prayer, approved during the 128th CBCP Plenary Assembly, is a call for calm and a peaceful resolution to geopolitical issues.

The CBCP has instructed the faithful to recite this prayer daily from July 25, 2024, to January 1, 2025.

The prayer invokes God's providence and mercy, asking for protection from war and the influence of malevolent forces on world leaders, referencing Ephesians 6:12.
