Please pray for a special intention. Thank you for your prayers. I am praying for all of you and the prayer requests of all of those on the Forums as well.
Almighty and loving Father,
we thank you for giving St. Gerard to us
as a most appealing model and powerful friend.
By his example,
he showed us how to love and trust You.
You have showered many blessings
on those who call upon him.
For Your greater glory and our welfare,
please grant Diem the favors
which we ask in his name.
And you, our powerful patron,
intercede for us before the throne of God.
Draw near to that throne
and do not leave it until you have been heard.
O good saint,
to you we address our feverent prayers;
graciously accept them
and let us all experience in some way
the effects of your powerful intercession.
Amen.
