Almighty and loving Father,
I thank You for giving St. Gerard Majella to us
as a most appealing model and powerful friend.
By his example, he showed us how to love and trust You.
You have showered many blessings
on those who call upon him.
For Your greater glory and my welfare,
please grant me the favors
which I ask in his name.
O good saint, to you I address my fervent prayers;
graciously accept them
and let me experience in some way
the effects of your powerful intercession.
Amen.
