St. Gerald Majella ~~~ Consider the shortness of Time, the length of Eternity, and reflect how everything here...
St. Gerard Majella (a Redemptorist) is an intercessor for safe delivery and I ask him to pray for a crisis pregnancy center I work for.
St. Gerard, beloved servant of Jesus, imitator of your meek and humble Savior and devoted child of the Mother of God. Enkindle in my heart one spark of that Heavenly fire of charity which glowed in your heart and made you and angel of love.
Preserve me from danger and from excessive pains which accompany childbirth. Shield the child whom I carry that he or she may see the light of day and receive the purifying and life giving waters of baptism.
I ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen
St. Padre Pio ~~~ Mary became the Mother of the Most High willing to be His maidservant...
Saint Padre Pio, please pray for the Catholic Church.
