Daughter is in labour with our first grandchild. Pregnancy has been normal so far, just that baby isn’t turning/engaging as it should. Requesting prayers that things will progress normally from hereon in. Thank you.
O great Saint Gerard, beloved servant of Jesus Christ, perfect imitator of your meek and humble Savior, and devoted child of Mother of God, enkindle within my heart one spark of that heavenly fire of charity which glowed in your heart and made you an angel of love.
O glorious Saint Gerard, because when falsely accused of crime, you did bear, like your Divine Master, without murmur or complaint, the calumnies of wicked men, you have been raised up by God as the patron and protector of expectant mothers.
Preserve me from danger and from the excessive pains accompanying childbirth, and shield the child which I now carry, that it may see the light of day and receive the purifying and life-giving waters of baptism through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit as it was in beginning, is now and shall be forever. World without end. Amen.

Congratulations!Henry Leonard arrived safely, yesterday evening. Mom, Dad & baby all doing well. Thank you for your prayers.
