St Gerard lived from 1726 until 1755 and had great devotion for Mary. He once said: Before and after every meal, I will recite three Ave Marias; when taking a drink of water, one Ave Maria; every time the clock strikes, one.
St Gerard’s feast is celebrated today.

Succour
Yes, we hear thy words sweet Mother,
But poor sinners we are weak;
At thy feet thy helpless children
Thy Perpetual Succour seek.
Happy feastday of Our Lady of Perpetual Help!
Mary, from thy sacred Image,
With those eyes so sadly sweet,
Mother of Perpetual Succour,
See us kneeling at thy feet.
In thy arms thy Child Thou bearest,
Source of all thy joy and woe;
What thy bliss, how deep thy sorrow,
Mother, Thou alone canst know.
