He pleads with San Gerardo to ask for powerful help

O Saint Gerard, in imitation of Jesus, you passed along the roads of the world doing good and doing wonders. At your passage faith was reborn, hope flourished, charity rekindled and everyone ran to you, because you were the guide, friend, counselor, benefactor of all.
You were a very clear image of Jesus and everyone, in your humble person, saw Jesus pilgrim among pilgrim men.
O St. Gerard, you transmit to us the message of God which is the message of Faith, Hope, Charity, the message of goodness and fraternity. Let us welcome this message into your heart and life. O Saint Gerard, turn to us and look: the poor, the unemployed, the homeless, children, young people, the elderly, the sick in soul and body; mothers, above all, look at you, open your heart to you.
You, image of Jesus Crucified, tear grace, smile, miracle from God.
How many love you, how many boast of your protection, especially those who want to shape their life on yours, can form a great family, or Saint Gerard, who walks safely in the hope of the kingdom of God, where the glory of the Lord will sing with you and will love her forever. Amen.
