O. R. VASSALL-PHILLIPS

Ninth Day. — Saint Gerard, most favoured child of Heaven, to
whom Mary gave the Infant Jesus in the days of thy childhood, and
to whom she sweetly came before thou didst close thine eyes in
death, obtain for us, we beseech thee, so to seek and love our Blessed
Mother during life, that she may be our joy and consolation in this
valley of tears, until, with thee, before the throne of God, we may
praise her goodness for all eternity. Amen. Amen.

So I hope, so may it be. Hail Mary, etc., as above.
