Dear Saint Monica, once the sorrowing mother of a wayward son, <i>please</i> present our petitions to the Lord God of Heaven and Earth. (mention your intentions here)<br />
<br />
Look down upon our anxieties and needs, and intercede for us, as you did so fervently for Augustine, your first born. We have full confidence, that your prayers will gain favorable hearing in heaven. Mother of sinner-turned saint; obtain for us patience, perserverance, and total trust in God's perfect timing. In his appointed hour, in his merciful way, may he respond to your prayer and ours, which we offer through you. Amen.<br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />
O great St. Peregrine, you have been called "The Mighty", "The Wonder-Worker", because of the numerous miracles which you have obtained from God for those who have had recourse to you. For so many years you bore in your own flesh this cancerous disease that destroys the very fibre of our being, and who had recourse to the source of all grace when the power of man could do no more. You were favoured with the vision of Jesus coming down from His Cross to heal your affliction. Ask of God and Our Lady, the cure of the sick whom we entrust to you. (<i>...recall names of those you are praying for</i>). Aided in this way by your powerful intercession, we shall sing to God, now and for all eternity, a song of gratitude for His great goodness and mercy. Amen.</span><br />

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Holy Mother of God, Virgin of Childbirth, we come to you to sing your praise. You are the beloved daughter of the Father, the Mother of the Word incarnate, the Temple of the Holy Spirit. You are the Virgin God chose from eternity to realize our salvation: ask your Son Jesus to grant us a strong faith, a solid hope, and a generous charity.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Virgin Mother, we put under your care all the mothers who pray for the integrity of their children and for a successful birth, so that the life in their womb may be preserved from all dangers. Grant them to come back to you with their child to give thanks to the Lord who works wonders for those who hopefully trust in him.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Virgin of Childbirth, protect all children with your love, so that, cleansed from sin by baptism and received in the Holy Mother Church, they may serenely grow up, full of virtues, in order to become courageous witnesses of your Son Jesus, and may persist on the path of sanctity, with the favor of the Holy Spirit. Amen.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Hail Mary! Full of Grace; the Lord is
with thee; blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the Fruit of
thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and
at the hour of our death. Amen.</span></span><br />

For God who is mighty has done great things for you, and His mercy is from age to age on those who love Him. Our greatest fear is that in time of temptation,we may fail to call out to you, and become lost children. Intercede for us, dear Mother, in obtaining pardon for our sins, love for Jesus, final perseverance, and the grace always to call upon you, Mother of Perpetual Help. </span>Amen.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;"><i><br /></i></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #666666;">St. Gianna is the Patron Saint for mothers, physicians and unborn children.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">God, our Father, You have granted to Your church the gift of Gianna
Beretta Molla. In her youth she lovingly sought You and drew other
young people to You, involving them, through apostolic witness
and Catholic Action, in the care of the sick and aged, to help
and comfort them.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">We thank You for the gift of this young woman, so deeply committed
to You. Through her example grant us the grace to consecrate our
lives to Your service, for the joy of our brothers and sisters. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="sublink">Glory be …</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">Jesus, Redeemer of mankind, You called Saint Gianna to exercise the medical profession
as a mission for the comfort of bodies and souls. In her suffering fellow men
and in the little ones, deprived of all support, she saw You. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">We thank You for having revealed Yourself to this servant as “one who serves” and
who soothes the sufferings of men. Treasuring her example may we become generous
Christians at the service of our brothers and sisters, especially those with
whom You deign to share Your Cross.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="sublink">Glory be…</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">God, Sanctifying Spirit, who love the Church as Your Bride, You poured into the
heart of Saint Gianna a share of Your Love so that she could radiate it in her
family, and thus cooperate with You in the wonderful plan of creation, and give
life to new children who could know and love You.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">We thank You for this model wife and, through her encouraging witness, we beg
You to grant to our families the serene and Christian presence of mothers committed
to transform their homes into cenacles of faith and love, rich with generous activity
and sanctifying service.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="sublink">Glory be…</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">O God, Creator and lover of mankind, You were close to Saint Gianna when, affected
by illness, she was in the painful dilemma of choosing between her own life and
the life of the child whom she was carrying in herself, a gift long-awaited.
Trusting You alone, and aware of Your Commandment to respect human life, Gianna
found the courage to do her duty as a mother and to say “yes” to
the new life of her baby, generously sacrificing her own. Through the intercession
of Mary, Mother of Jesus, and after the example of Gianna, inspire all mothers
to welcome with love the sparkle of new life. Grant us the grace we are praying
for (especially………….) and the joy to find an inspiration in Saint Gianna
who, as a model spouse and mother, after the example of Christ, gave up her life for
the life of others. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="sublink">Hail Mary…</span></span></span><br />
