St. Gerard Jubilee Year

April 26, 2025, marked the beginning of the Jubilee Year of the Tercentenary of the birth of St. Gerard. St Gerard’s determination to achieve sainthood led him to run away from home in search of his vocation. Despite initial rejections, he found a welcome among the Redemptorist missionaries, where he was professed as a brother and devoted his life to manual labor in the community. Throughout his life, he endured calumnies with gentleness and patience. In the Sele valley, he carried out an intense apostolic work in isolated villages, distinguishing himself by his charity and dedication. He had a special gift for spiritual accompaniment, especially with the nuns who came to him for advice. His life was distinguished by simplicity, deep prayer and charity. JUBILEE PRAYER to ST. GERARD.
