Novena to St. Gerard Majella
Strive each day to practice the virtue indicated in the petition.
FIFTH DAY
St. Gerard, model of holy obedience, who through your life did heroically submit your judgment to those who represent Jesus Christ to you, thus sanctifying your lowliest actions, obtain for me from God cheerful submission to His Holy Will and the virtue of perfect obedience, that I may be made conformable to Jesus, my Model, who was obedient even to death. 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.
