Saint Gerard With Prayers And Devotions: Florentine Lives of the Saint

Saint Gerard With Prayers And Devotions, is a pocket-sized prayer book focused on the life of Saint Gerard, accompanied by popular prayers and devotions on each page.

St. Gerard Majella (1726-1755) was a humble Italian Redemptorist lay brother known for his extraordinary charity, obedience, and mystical gifts. Born into a poor family, he became a tailor, then joined St. Alphonsus Liguori's new congregation at age 26 despite frail health. He never became a priest, yet was called "the wonder-worker of the eighteenth century."

Miracles followed him: bilocation, reading souls, multiplying food, and calming storms. His most famous miracle occurred when a handkerchief he accidentally left behind was later used by a dying pregnant woman; both mother and child survived. From that moment, countless mothers in difficult pregnancies began invoking him.

Canonized in 1904 by St. Pius X, St. Gerard is the official patron saint of expectant mothers, childbirth, and those struggling with infertility. Mothers worldwide carry his medal, pray his novena, and name babies after him when deliveries turn safe against all odds. Hospitals and maternity wards display his image; the "St. Gerard League" still distributes millions of prayer cards yearly.

St. Gerard remains important because he shows that heroic holiness belongs to the little, the sick, and the lay--while offering real hope to every family praying for the gift of life.
