Powerful prayer to saint gerard

I've been saying this prayer for 6 years now- almost everyday. And I've been saying it because I like it of course. But today, suddenly as I was saying it I picked up on the wonderful power of the words in the prayer- in particular the lines... That we may raise up children to god in this life and heirs to his kingdom in the world to come" ... It's true! Our children whom we pray for arechildrem for god- how true as I hear my akshaya speaking of the Ramayana and ashwin saying palum theli thenum ... Through my children I am getting to know more about god getting closer to god....
