I would like to share my story! Myself and my husband were married in 1982 and late in 1983 we lost our baby. We were trying very hard for a baby for the next six years. I had been in and out of hospital for investigations as to why I was not conciving. However we applied for adoption and went through all the process of forms, interviews, etc. when eventually we were turned down in Jan 1988 and told re apply the following year. Needless to say we were heartbroken! However I was told of the Novena to St. Gerard Majella which I decided to do in October 1988. I went to St. Josephs Church Berkley Road in Dublin for the duration of the Novena. In Jan 1989 we re applied for adoption and when going through all the process again I found out that I was pregant and my baby was due end of Oct 1989. We had to advise the adoption board of the situation. I promised St. Gerard that if I had a boy I would call him Gerard. However I gave birth to my beautiful Daughter on 7th Nov and she was called Eimear. Some years passed and I was not conciving again so needless to say I took myself off to Berkely Road once again to do the Novena to St. Gerard in 1993. I gave birth on 27th Aug 1994 to my Son and yes you guessed it right his name is Gerard.
I started to pray to St. Gerard in 1988 and still pray to him to this day. I call him my Managing Director and I love him will all my heart and I have wonderful faith in him. So those that are in distress just have faith in St. Gerard he will not let you down. Thank You St. Gerard for all your love and kindness to myself and my family. You are forever in my heart!!!!!
Please St Gerard, my daughter and her husband desperately want a baby. They have not had much success. I know the power of prayer. My 28 year old son was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and, miraculously survived through the prayers of many. I am giving this request over to you to bring to the Lord. A nun that I teach with gave me your name – Yours in Christ

Dear St Gerard,

Dear St Gerard,
Thank you for the safe delivery of my daughter, please guide and protect her always.
St. Gerard, please help me to live a life pleasing to Our Lord Jesus Christ, to turn away at every opportunity from the temptations of sin, to love you and your heavenly father with greater vigor day by day, to demostrate kindness caring and love to the least in society and to be given the gift of seeing you in everyone I meet, ask Our Heavenly Father for the grace to forgive and forget all wrongs done against me and let me atone justly for all the wrongs that I have done against anybody. Look after Our Church and all who work tirelessly in your vineyard especially our beloved priests, who are constantly attacked and humiliated at every opportunity in RTE programmes. St Gerard, you lived a life pleasing to God, please pour out your graces upon me and petition Our Lord Jesus on my behalf. To show me mercy where none should be given for transgressions. Thank you

Dear St Gerald, I come here to pray for you that you may grant my community in Ireland, to have a Brazilian Priest that will guide our people whom are so lost and lonely sometimes. May we get a Brazilian Priest that will continue on the fantastic work done by Father Sean Lawlor. As Father Sean himself said on his interview four days before going to meet with God our Lord, only one Brazilian can understand another Brazilian!
We need a Brazilian Priest to guide our Catholics to continue on at the Catholic Religion, may they not loose their faith, nor the loose their religion. Amen.
