Prayer During Natural Disasters

If you are experiencing natural disasters of any kind, call on saint Medard to protect you.

Saint Medard is the patron saint against bad weather. He was a highly esteemed Bishop of worm Vermond, France in the year 530. Legend has it that there was a time when he was walking in the rain and prayed to God for protection, then an eagle appeared over his head to shield him from the rain. Because of this, he was made patron saint of bad weather.

If you are facing natural disasters like hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tornadoes, call on Saint Medard:

“Jesus My Lord,
Saint Medard served as a bishop during very difficult times,
and his long life of spiritual leadership
created a tremendous impression on the people.

Because of his patronage against bad weather,
I ask him to intercede for me during the storms of my life,
as well as the storms in nature.
Protect me and my home.

And Lord, help the victims of hurricanes,
tornadoes, earthquakes, floods, and other natural disasters.
Send in more helpers
and multiply the supplies that are needed for their aid.

You calmed the storm on the Sea of Galilee.
Deliver us from the storms
that are raging around us now.
Saint Medard, pray for us! Amen”.
