Praying…
O good St Gerard, powerful intercessor before God and wonder worker of our day, confidently I call upon you and seek your aid. On earth you always fulfilled God’s designs; help Andrew and Liz now to do the holy will of God. Implore the Master of Life, from Whom all paternity proceeds, to render them fruitful in offspring, that they may raise up children to God in this life, and in the world to come, heirs to the Kingdom of His Glory. Amen.

Mother of Christ, you know, as no other mother can, the high dignity of motherhood. You know how immensely great is the privilege to call into this world a tiny soul destined to praise God forever in heaven. This is the privilege Liz now seeks, Mary!
Confidently I beg you to assist her, for I know that motherhood is so precious in your sight. And confidently too, I hope for this blessing for her through your divine Son, since Jesus is the Lover of the little children and has said that we should allow them to come to Him.
It is for this blessing that I beg you to join to Liz’ petitions your own holy intercession, that she might be privileged to bring to Jesus a little one such as He so dearly loves, that He may bless it, that He may bless her also, in her motherhood, and that He may then make you both grow in the wonders of His Divine Life. Amen.
***Mother of Mothers, pray for them! ***
