St. Gerard Majella Comments
St. Gerard Majella, religious, is the patron of expectant mothers. He was born at Muro, Italy, in 1726 and joined the Redemptorists at the age of 23, becoming a professed lay brother in 1752. He served as sacristan, gardener, porter, infirmarian, and tailor. However, because of his great piety, extraordinary wisdom, and his gift of reading consciences, he was permitted to counsel communities of religious women. This humble servant of God ...

Wonderful St Gerard, hear my prayers to fall pregnant before the years end. 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.
O Great Saint Gerard, beloved servant of Jesus Christ, perfect imitator of your meek and humble Savior, and devoted Child of the 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 pray for me to conceive a child, that it may see the light of day and receive the lustral waters of baptism through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Dear Saint Gerard. I'm proud to declare you as my patron. Please keep us in prayer and grant my wife a safe delivery. Please also intercede for us this day as our beloved 2 year old goes through her surgery. Thank you dear Saint Gerard
St. Gerard, on this your feast, October 16th, 2011, I give you thanks for my 10 year old granddaughter whose birthday is today. You were our great intercessor when her mother was having a very difficult pregnancy and had already lost one baby. A friend who is a Redemptorist brother, like you were, was praying to you and so were some other family friends. This beautiful, healthy little girl was born on YOUR FEAST DAY! Thank you. I continue to spread this wonderful story of a prayer answered.
Thank you for all your help so far, please help me be a better person and more understanding of other people and their needs.Help me accept my inability to concieve.
Thank you St.Gerard for my son Ryan Gerard Ramirez, After several years of trying to conceive I prayed for your help and I now have a beautiful son. He was born 4 weeks early but is healthy and strong! He is now 12 days old and thanks to you and Jesus he is growing stronger everyday. Happy Feast Day!!! Thank you for all the Blessings we love you!-Maria
Dear St. Gerard,
Please grant me your gift of humility. I was fired from a job that I was certain was a gift from God. It was. I was happy and able to use my interior design talents to help the veterans of our country. These last few days I have been working on papers to save my reputation and blow the whistle on those who fired me. I do want the abuses in our government to stop, but admit that I am trying to protect myself as well. Please pray for me to not address this issue in this manner, but accept that God has another way for me to do His work. Please make me not ashamed, but grateful for the nearly one year of work that i enjoyed at the VA. Please forgive those who did this to me. Please help me to forgive them as well. Please help me to find another way to be of service with whatever God has in mind for me. Please keep me from lashing out at those who condemn me.
Please also be close to the child that I lost to miscarriage in 1973. Tell him/her that I still love that precious child that I never met or even saw. Thank you, St. Gerard and please help all who have asked for your intervention for thier children and their pregnancies. Please tell God that I love Him and ask His forgiveness.
44 years ago, the doctors told my mother not to carry me for 9 months because she would not survive. I assume the option was to abort. She went ahead and when she began to experience substantial medical complications, she prayed to St. Gerard. Here I am today. I often thank and pray to St. Gerard.
I love you dearly St. Gerard. You have helped so many, how can I help?
It is a shame that today is St. Margaret Mary Alocoque feast day and she was not mentioned in your Saints of the Day. It is she who the Sacred Heart of Jesus gave the 12 promises to, and it was she who began the First Friday Novena to the Sacred Heart back in the 1600's.

St. Gerard Majella, I am in deep sorrow and sadness today, when I received news that my grandson Christian experienced a seizure and had to be hospitalised. The child was born with fragile X, a condition which makes him suseptible to all kinds of nervous disorders, including seizures at the most unpreditable moments. His suffering in very serious, and to add to this he is veryslow to verbalise and express himself. St. Gerard have pity on this little boy and grant him full recovery and banish all seizures for good. Please hear my pleas, answer my prayer. Make haste to present this little boy to Jesus of Divine Mercy. Prostrate yourself in the presence of the Most High Jesus Christ and His beloved Mother Mary. On this your feast day make this intercession personally, for Christian and do not leave till you receive and answer. A miraculous cure for Christian. I ask this with faith and expectation, that you will make this request your very own, for the sake of the child and his suffering parents and family. Amen.
Happy Feast Day St. Gerard! Please watch over and protect me and my baby and let my baby grow healthy to a full term without any pregnancy complications or abnormalities and that I may have a normal and safe delivery. Amen. We love you St. Gerard. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
We are childless for 5 years and we have our devotion to St Gerard and we are given two wonderful sons, Gerard Angelo and Paulo Gabriel!
Thank you Lord and St Gerard! Happy Feast Day!
