Evening Prayer with Ansai who contemplates natural forces and disasters such as heavy rain and floods – sometimes seen as a punishment from God. She recites a traditional prayer which asks for good weather for farmers and gardeners that; “we may receive the fruits of the earth in due season”; so that we may learn to amend our lives and give praise for our Lord’s clemency. Lastly Ansai asks the Lord to; “bless you and keep you, make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you and give you peace.”
