TWO SAINTS TO INVOKE AGAINST FLOODS AND EARTHQUAKES

Saint Margaret of Hungary1242-1271,  Feast Day: January 18 St. Margaret is invoked against floods. She was a princess whose parents promised her to  God in thanksgiving for repelling an enemy invasion.  They had placed her in a convent, which she would  not consent to leave. As an act of penance she  refused to bathe and tended the hopelessly sick.  Her father built her a convent of her own on an small  island in the middle of the Danube River. Whenever it  was threatened with flooding, she protected it with  prayer. Saint Gregory Thaumaturgus213-270,  Feast Day: November 17 St. Gregory is invoked against earthquakes  and also against floods. In Beirut, Lebanon he was  a well-to-do law student; having converted to the  Catholic faith. He returned to his native city and was made bishop for the 17 Christians who lived there.  By the time of his death he had converted all  but 17 of the pagans. Know for the charism of healing,  he could dry up streams and move tremendous  boulders by the commands of his word.  He is also the patron of Armenia and desperate  and or forgotten cases. A PRAYER IN TIME OF EARTHQUAKE OR FLOOD O God, Who hast established  the earth upon firm foundations,  and given the rivers their course,  graciously receive the prayers of Thy people:  and, having utterly removed the dangers of  the shaken earth, and dangerous waters.  Turn the terrors of Thy Divine wrath  into the means of the salvation of mankind;  that they who are of the earth,  and unto earth shall return,  may rejoice to find themselves citizens of  Heaven by means of a holy life.  Through Christ our Lord. Amen. Regard, O Lord, our humility and  forsake us not in this time of tribulation. I deserve to suffer these things,  O Lord, for I have sinned. Despise not, Almighty God,  Thy people who cry out to  Thee in their affliction,  but for the glory of Thy Name,  being appeased assist those who ar in tribulation.  Through Christ our Lord.  Amen.
