O good
Saint Gerard,
powerful intercessor
before God and wonder-
worker of our day, I call upon
you and seek your aid. You,
who on earth always fulfilled
God's designs, help me to do
the holy Will of God. Ask the
Master of life, from whom all
paternity proceeds, 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.
