Good St. Gerard,
powerful intercessor before the throne of God,
wonder-worker of our day,
I call upon you and seek your aid.
You know that our marriage has not as yet been blessed with a child
and how much my husband and I desire this gift.
Please present our fervent pleas to the Creator of life
from whom all parenthood proceeds and beseech Him to bless us with a child whom we may raise as His child and heir of heaven.
Amen.
