This is the Start.

This is a start to a long journey. I've been doing a lot of searching and browsing online and I've come to the realization that everyone is so different.  How general of me. What I mean is that every single blogger has a different template, a different description, and a different way to go about meeting some sort of goal they have. Some blog about their spiritual lives, some blog about new adventures in different geographic places with different people, some blog about their emotional and physical journeys, and some just blog about ideas for redecorating houses. No matter what type of blog it is, and there are way more blogs than you could ever dream (do not mind my narrow minded list), there is always one blog that will be different from anyone else's; and that blog is your own. So I want to tell you that this is my own blog. My own ideas, my own journey, and my own goal. So, this really is the start of a long journey. And I hope you can come along with me for it is now beginning :D

O Great Saint Gerard, 

beloved servant of Jesus Christ, 

perfect imitator of your meek and humble Savior, and devoted Child of the Mother of God: 

enkindle within my heart one spark of that heavenly fire of charity which glowed in your heart and made you an angel of love. 

O glorious Saint Gerard, because when falsely accused of crime, you did bear, 

like your Divine master, without murmur or complaint, the calumnies of wicked men, 

you have been raised up by God as the Patron and Protector of expectant mothers. 

Preserve me from danger and from the excessive pains accompanying childbirth, 

and shield the child which I now carry,

 that it may see the light of day and receive the lustral waters of baptism through Jesus Christ our Lord. 

Amen.
