Novena to St. Gerard
Eighth Day
St. Gerard, true lover
of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament of the Altar, do thou who didst kneel long
hours before the Tabernacle, and there didst taste the joys of the Paradise.
Obtain for me, I beseech thee, the spirit of prayer and an undying love for the
Most Holy Sacrament, that thus receiving frequently the Body and Blood of
Jesus, I may daily grow in His holy love and merit the priceless grace of
loving Him even to the end.
Say nine Ave’s
Ave Maria
Ave Maria gratia plena, Dominus tecum. Benedicta tu in mulieribus, et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus. Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus, nunc, et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.
Hail Mary
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit Of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us sinners Now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
V. Pray for us, O St. Gerard.
R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
Let us Pray
O Almighty and everlasting God, who didst draw to thyself St. Gerard, even from his tenderest years, making him conformable to the Image of Thy Crucified Son, grant we beseech Thee, that imitating his example, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
