St. Gerard Novena: Day Two

Almighty and Eternal God,
we thank You for the gift of St. Gerard
and the example of his life. 
Because St. Gerard always had complete faith and trust in You,
You blessed him with great powers of help and healing.
Through him, You showed your loving concern
for all those who suffered or were in need.
You never failed to hear his prayer on their behalf.
Today, through Saint Gerard's powerful intercession,
You continue to show you love
for all those who place their trust in You.
And so, Father, full of faith and confidence,
and in thanksgiving for all the wonderful things
You have done for us,
we place ourselves before You today.
Through the intercession of St. Gerard,
hear our prayers and petitions,
and if it is your Holy Will,
Please grant them in the name of Jesus, Our Lord.
Amen

Day Two: Saint Gerard, most generous saint, who from  your earliest years did care so little for the goods of earth, grant that I may place all my confidence in Jesus Christ alone, my true Treasure, who alone can make me happy in time and eternity. Pray nine Hail Marys.
