Ellicott City was devastated by flash flooding from a massive rainstorm Sunday, just two years after a similar event forced the historic city in Howard County to rebuild much of its Main Street. Mu…

Several communities near my house in Maryland had bad floods yesterday. Hardest hit was Old Ellicott City, which is a “quaint and historic” housing and shopping area that happens to be located in the low-lying flood plain of a river and floods every so many years. It has now had three bad floods in the past 7 years alone (after a long hiatus with no flood, which lulled a lot of people into a false sense of security) and people have died in the last two.

Please pray for the community that it makes the right decisions going forward to prevent further disasters and loss of life. Please also pray for all those affected, particularly those who died or lost loved ones.

Also we can give thanks that the historic Catholic church in this area (which is saying Masses for my husband, I was just at one 2 weeks ago) has come through all the floods for nearly 200 years unscathed because its builders constructed it of granite and on high ground back in 1838.

Lift Up Those Who Have Fallen

Holy One, You are our comfort and strength
in times of sudden disaster, crisis, or chaos.
Surround us now with your grace and peace
through storm or earthquake, fire or flood.

By your Spirit, lift up those who have fallen,
sustain those who work to rescue or rebuild,
and fill us with the hope of your new creation;
through You, our rock and redeemer. 🙏
 
Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

Amen.
 
I pray for everyone who was affected by this flood. May God be with them and may He prevent this from happening again. Amen.
 
O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!

Our Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death, Amen.

Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Your Dearly Beloved Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins and those of the whole world.

For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world. x10

Holy God, Holy Mighty One, Holy Immortal One, have mercy on us and on the whole world.
 
For those in need in the Baltimore Area…
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be, Fatima, Amen…

Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence,
I fly unto thee,
O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come,
before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions,
but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.
 
May they be on the road to recovery with the Lord as their guide…
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory Be, Fatima, Amen…
