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 our sister from danger and from the excessive pains accompanying childbirth, and shield the child which she now carries, that it may see the light of day and receive the purifying and life-giving waters of baptism through Jesus Christ our Lord.
And please let her go into labor soon, Soon, SOON. And find a good dress for the wedding.
Amen.

Annie : I'm always thrilled by your friendshop with St Gerard since it was while pregnant with you that Dad and first "discovered" him ( thus your other middle name).
Yes, sweet Mary - my prayer to St Gerard will not be daily, but often during every day...with trust that he will come through in every respect!
But of course the perfect dress for the wedding!!!!!!!!
Thank you!!!
And Amen to this—our new room will be done and painted by weekend's end! We're ready for you, Burito!
I dreamed last night we had a boy with lots of dark hair. Brent with dark hair, imagine that.
