Prayer
to Saint Gerard for a Safe Delivery
O great Saint Gerard,
beloved servant of Jesus Christ, perfect imitator of your meek and humble
Savior, and devoted child of Mother of God, enkindle within my heart one spark
of that heavenly fire of charity which glowed in your heart and made you an
angel of love. O glorious Saint Gerard, because when falsely accused of crime, you
did bear, like your Divine Master, without murmur or complaint, the calumnies
of wicked men, you have been raised up by God as the patron and protector of
expectant mothers. Preserve me from danger and from the excessive pains
accompanying childbirth, and shield the child which I now carry, that it may
see the light of day and receive the purifying and life-giving waters of
baptism through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
