Novena to St. Gerard Majella
Strive each day to practice the virtue indicated in the petition.
FOURTH DAY
St. Gerard, spotless lily of purity, by your angelic virtue and your wonderful innocence of life you did receive from the Infant Jesus and His Immaculate Mother, sweet pledges of tenderest love, grant, I beseech you, that I may ever strive courageously in my lifelong fight, and thus win the crown that awaits the brave and the true. I pray that you also will pray for the special intention I bring to you of (mention your request here).
Recite the Hail Mary nine times, along with the following:
Pray for us, O St. Gerard, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us pray:
O Almighty and Everlasting God, who did draw St. Gerard to Yourself, even from his childhood, making him conformable to the Image of Your Crucified Son, grant we beseech You, that imitating his example, we may be made like unto the same Divine Image, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
