    My daughter had migraine headaches. St. Gereon is the Patron Saint of Migraines. After prayers to St. Gereon for help, my daughter's migraines resolved. I searched for a prayer to St. Gereon, but found none. In thanksgiving for his intercession, here is a prayer I've written that others may find useful:

    "Good St. Gereon, loyal and devoted warrior for Christ, your suffering and bravery have inspired generations of God's people. Please pray that God will grant me the fortitude to endure this migraine; the charity to offer my suffering for the benefit of others and for God's Holy Agenda; and that I may find relief from this earthly pain in God's loving mercy. St. Gereon, please hear my prayer. Amen."
