Devotion to San Gerardo and the plea to ask for thanks

SUPPLICATE TO SAN GERARDO

Party on October 16th

O Saint Gerard, the looks of so many sufferers are turned to your sanctuary. Affections; the hopes of so many needy are placed in you. They implore our prayers. Hear them for the glory of God, the good of the Church, the increase of the Catholic faith. Help those who ask you for fute and grace for their soul; it helps oppressed hearts to find the peace and freedom of the children of God. It comforts the afflicted and the sick; protect mothers and babies; assist young people on the difficult journey of life; rescue your devotees. In particular, we recommend you, O Saint Gerard, our loved ones and those who recommended themselves to our prayers. Listen to all so that many souls are saved and many unhappy people are freed from infirmities. Spread on those who invoke you treasures of graces and favors, so that from your sanctuary of Materdomini you always shine as a beacon of light to the minds, refuge in danger, aid in every misfortune, call of affection and praise. Amen.
