O Christ Jesus,
when all is darkness
and we feel our weakness and helplessness,
give us the sense of Your presence,
Your love, and Your strength.
Help us to have perfect trustin Your protecting love
and strengthening power,
so that nothing may frighten or worry us,
for, living close to You,we shall see Your hand,
Your purpose, Your will through all things.
By Saint Ignatius of Loyola
O good St. Gerard, powerful intercessor before God and Wonder-worker of our day, I call upon thee and seek thy aid. Thou who on earth didst always fulfill God's design help me to do the Holy Will of God. Beseech the Master of Life, from Whom all paternity proceedeth to render me fruitful in offspring, that I may raise up children to God in this life and heirs to the Kingdom of His glory in the world to come.
Amen.
Dear Mother Mary, speak to Jesus for me.
