    Blessed St Gerard I am 5 weeks pregnant with what will be our third child after a miscarriage last year. Please I beg of you to strengthen this pregnancy and cease any further complications. Allow my child, who I already love and long to hold in my arms, to be born into this world to join our loving family. Intercede for us that our child will be healthy, our pregnancy strong and our delivery will be safe In Jesus name I pray.

    St Gerard, you have interceded for me every step of the way through this difficult pregnancy. You have kept the baby and I safe from harm, through your prayers to our Lord. Please pray for the baby to be spared from the virus my niece has. Please help my body to filter this virus away and protect the life within me. Give our doctors wisdom and insight, protect us from harm and deliver this baby safely as hoped and prayed for in 3 weeks. Thanks be to God.

    I pray to you St.Gerard to help bless my husband and I with a second child. He has strayed from our marriage and we both wanted more than one child and now he has decided only one. Our son has special needs and he would greatly benefit from having a sibling to grow and bond with. I love being a mom, for the first time in my life I feelt like I know what I am doing. I long to have a second child to love. A blessing that shows life does indeed go on. Thank you for the blessings.

    St. Gerard, I pray for your intercession to heal my body, and allow me to bring life into this world. I thank you for helping all the others who have prayed to you, and I pray that you will do the same for me. When the disappointment of trying and failing seems too much to bear, I will pray to you. My prayers go out to anyone and everyone who is trying to have children, and for all of the previous posters as well. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.

    I humbly ask though how much unworthy I am, the permission of our Creator, through the intercession of St. Gerard, to have a stronger faith & sincerity in our hearts while saying how much we trust God's will. Our creator knows what's in our hearts & it is no use telling Him otherwise. He knows how much we want a child amidst doubts & fears because of the miscarriage last year. But it is so powerful & comforting to just lift up all these turmoils within. I pray for the couples who are experiencing the same. Please assist us in our desires to accept what God wills for us. And to know that God's will is always the best.
