OCTOBER 16 SAN GERARDO MAIELLA. Begging to ask for a grace

O St. Gerard, with your intercession, your graces, you have guided many hearts to God, you have become relief of the afflicted, support of the poor, help of the sick.
You who know my pain, move with pity for my suffering. You who console your devotees in tears listen to my humble prayer.
Read in my heart, see how much I suffer. Read in my soul and heal me, comfort me, console me. Gerardo, come to my aid soon! Gerardo, make me one of those who praise and thank God with you. Let me sing his mercy with those who love me and suffer for me.
What does it cost you to accept my prayer? I will not cease to invoke you until you have fully fulfilled me. It is true that I do not deserve your graces, but listen to me for the love you bring to Jesus, for the love you bring to Mary most holy. Amen.
