Prayer for Safe Delivery — St. Gerard Majella
O Great Saint Gerard, beloved
servant of Jesus Christ, perfect
imitator of thy meek and humble
Savior, and devoted Child of the
Mother of God: enkindle within my
heart one spark of that heavenly fire of
charity which glowed in thine and
made thee a seraph of love.
O glorious Saint Gerard, because
when falsely accused of crime, thou
didst bear, like thy Divine Master,
without murmur or complaint, the
calumnies of wicked men, thou hast
been raised up by God as the Patron
and Protector of expectant mothers.
Preserve me from danger and from
the excessive pains accompanying
childbirth, and shield the child which I
now carry, that it may see the light of
day and receive the lustral waters of
baptism, through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen.
(Nine Hail Marys)
