  3. A Daily Devotional

    in Abrazo's Chapel Potluck

    Posted

    Knowing that we have hit a rough patch with our birthmother, my principal went in search of a prayer for me. She turned to St. Gerard who is the patron saint of expectant mothers. Although I am not Catholic (though I teach at a Catholic school) this prayer really touched me, and the thougtfulness of my principal made my heart swell. She promised she would say it with me every day until the arrival of our child. I wanted to share it with everyone:

    O good St. Gerard, powerful intercessor before the throne of God, wonder-worker of our day, I call upon you and seek your help. While on earth, you always fulfulled God's designs; help me, too, always do God's holy will. Beseech the master of life, from whom all parenthood proceeds, to bless me with offspring, that I may raise up children to God in this life and heirs to the Kingdom of God's glory in the life to come.

    Amen

    Coleen, I love this prayer! I have it and say it often. I was raised Catholic and I wear a St. Gerard medallion that is very special to me. That was so sweet of you principal. Thank you for sharing this with all of us! You, Tom and your birthfamily are in our prayers.
