Amen.

It has long been my most fervent desire to be a mother. My husband and I are of the opinion that if it is God's will, then we will become parents. Tonight, as I was looking through a purse my mother made over 40 years ago, I found a medal of St. Gerard. My mother must have carried this medal during one of her early pregnancies, before she found that she was unable to carry a baby to term. Years later, my parents adopted me and then my little sister. Finding this medal tonight must surely be a sign. I ask the intercession of blessed Saint Gerard to bring about the child I know in my heart is waiting for me. Through Jesus Christ, amen.
Dear St. Gerard, It's my last month of pregnancy and I want to have peace of mind. I've been through depression since day 1 and up to this very day i'm still troubled with different things and of the future. Please help me, pray for me that I may accept the things that I cannot change. God knows very well what my heart trully desires but if it's not for His greater glory help me to accept it wholeheartedly and may he grant me patience so that I'll hold on until the day that I finally know the reason why things didn't happen the way we planned and the way that I want things to be. I begged of you St. Gerard. Please pray for me and my son.
St. Gerard, please pray for me & my husband it is being 1 year & 4 months now after our wedding. It's been 7 months now with no result. Please pray for us!
Thanks & regards,
Mathew & Vidya
St. Gerard, please, pray for me and my husband that we conceive our healthy baby, May God give us a miracle. We are trying for more than a year. Please, St. Gerard, bless us with healthy children and we will raise them to God's delight and joy. Thank you.
Dear St. Gerard Majella, I'm already 34 weeks pregnant now. I had a very emotional pregnancy since I have to go through it alone, without a husband. I'm thankful that God has blessed me with a very supportive family-a mother who became my strength to face everything. I am afraid that the emotional torture/depression that I went through affected my baby. I pray to you St. Gerard to grant my son good health and that may he grow up to be a God fearing person and a faithful Christian. I also ask Dear St. Gerard for a normal and safe delivery. Please pray for us St. Gerard!
Saint Gerard please pray for my husband and I that we are healed of whatever is preventing us from having children. I ask of you that you will pray prayers of intercession that we are able to have a baby this year and more children in the future to be raised in God's light and love. Thank you for listening to our petition and I pray for all of those who are having difficulty conceiving!

St. Gerard, please bless my husband and I with the miracle of conceiving a child this year. We have been trying for nearly 3 years with no success.
