Saint Emidius is invoked to be preserved from earthquakes.
Saint Emidius lived in the 2nd century. A soldier of Christ, he spread faith in Jesus Christ. But, denounced as a Christian, he suffered martyrdom joyfully and joined the whole phalanx of holy martyrs with his Savior Jesus.
He is particularly honored in Ascoli, Italy, where his holy relics are located.

INVOCATION
O God, who consecrated this day through the martyrdom of Saint Emidius, grant us the full effectiveness of the prayers that we address to him to be preserved from a fatal death or from the dangers which threaten us. We pray to you through Our Lord Jesus Christ. So be it.
Saint Emidius, who have a special grace to protect against earthquakes, help us.

PRAYER
Yes, great God, you will not abandon me, it is for the sake of your glory that I ask you. O my God, you are righteous; you see that my imprudence or my pride has no part in the storm which has arisen against me: therefore command the winds and the angry waves to be silent, and deliver me from the abyss which seems quite ready to swallow me up: but hurry, Lord, the danger is pressing; you have made me feel my weakness enough; my loss, alas! is certain, if you do not come to my aid promptly. So be it.
