PRAYER TO S. GEMMA TO ASK FOR THANKS

O dear holy Gemma, who let yourself be shaped by Christ crucified, receiving the signs of his glorious Passion in your virginal body, for the salvation of all, obtain for us to live our baptismal commitment with generous dedication and intercede for us with the Lord so that grant us the desired graces.
Amen

Santa Gemma Galgani, pray for us.
Our Father, Ave Maria, Gloria

He was born on March 12, 1878 in Bogonuovo di Camigliano (Lucca). Aurelia died in September 1886. In 1895 Gemma was inspired to follow the path of the Cross with commitment and decision. Gemma has some visions of her guardian angel. Gemma's father Enrico died on 11 November 1897. Sick, Gemma, she reads the biography of the venerable Passionist Gabriele dell'Addolorata (now a saint), who appears and comforts her. In the meantime, Gemma made a decision and on the evening of December 8, the feast of the Immaculate Conception, made a vow of virginity. Despite medical treatments, Gemma's disease, osteitis of the lumbar vertebrae with abscess to the groin, worsens up to the paralysis of the legs, from which, however, it is miraculously healed. Gemma's visions continue and she is given the grace to share Christ's sufferings. In May 1902 Gemma fell ill again, recovered, but had a relapse in October. He died on April 11, 1903.
