Prayer to St. Gerard for Pregnancy

St. Gerard, holy intercessor for mothers and babies, please pray for us during this time of our pregnancy. I feel this blessed life growing within me, and I am filled with praise for our Wondrous Creator- A God who gives life, and then entrusts us to nurture and nourish it. I think about our Blessed Mother, bearer of the very Son of God, and of my own mother, who bore me in loving faithfulness. My prayer is that God protects this baby; that we have a safe and healthy pregnancy and delivery; and that this child and all our family grow in living faith until we find our place among God’s Communion of Saints in everlasting life. Amen
