THIRD DAY
St. Gerard, bright seraph of love, who, despising all earthly love, did consecrate your life to the service of God and your neighbor, promoting God's glory in your lowly state, and ever ready to assist the distressed and console the sorrowful, obtain for me, I beseech you, that, loving God the only Good and my neighbor for His sake, I may be hereafter united to Him forever in glory. 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.
