St Gerard Majella
Patron Saint of Mothers and the Falsely Accused
St. Gerard Majella, born in 1726 in Italy, is the patron saint of mothers, expectant mothers, and the falsely accused. A devout child, he endured hardships before joining the Redemptorists, where he worked tirelessly in various roles. Known for his deep spirituality, he performed miracles, including restoring life, multiplying food, and foreseeing future events. Falsely accused, he remained silent, trusting in God until his innocence was revealed. He died in 1755, accurately predicting his time of death. His intercession for pregnant women led to widespread devotion, and he was canonized in 1904. His feast day is October 16.
