Strive each day to practice the virtue indicated in the petition.
NINTH DAY
St. Gerard, most favored child of heaven, to whom Mary gave the Infant Jesus in the days of your childhood, to whom she sweetly came before and did close your eyes in death, obtain for me I beseech you, so to seek and love my Blessed Mother during life, that she may be my joy and consolation in this valley of tears, until with you, before the throne of God, I may praise her goodness for all eternity. I pray that you also will pray for the special intention I bring to you (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.
