Apologies for not posting the novena yesterday; My family is currently on vacation, and we spent most of yesterday in the car, but I hope that you all took the time to say any kind of prayer for the Rome Baby.
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 Five: Saint Gerard, model of holy obedience, throughout your life you heroically submitted your judgement to those who represented Jesus Christ to you, thereby sanctifying your lowliest actions.
Please obtain for me from God cheerful submission to His Holy Will and the virtue of perfect obedience, that I may be conformable to Jesus, my Model, who was obedient even to death. Pray nine Hail Marys.
Day Six: Saint Gerard, most perfect imitator of Jesus Our Redeemer, your greatest glory was to be humble and lowly.
Please obtain that I too, knowing my littleness in God's sight, may be found worthy to enter the kingdom that is promised to the humble and lowly of heart. Pray nine Hail Marys.
