When asked how he could say that with a perfect conscience, he said that had the Lord granted the same graces to a thief, he would be far better than him. God had granted such an abundance of graces to him that he was in a sense forced to be saintly, even though he wasted a lot of them. I believe the same is the case with Saint Gemma Galgani.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055912381407477995.post-55450522457969458622021-08-30T21:02:20.173-04:002021-08-30T21:02:20.173-04:00I find it so troubling to hear that the Lord would...I find it so troubling to hear that the Lord would have told her that a worse sinner <br /> He could not find.

Also, that she was a sinner but still received mercy from God and still has things to beg Him for, be it for herself or others. I never knew much about her and am very happy there is so much here to find out. Thanks again. God knows how important this site is to others.

In our book we feature both the photographs in question. The photo with a brick-wall background is the most authentic photo, taken when Gemma was about 22 years old. By "most authentic" we mean least altered by later photo experts.<BR/>Gemma was far too modest ever to sit for a portrait but her adoptive family did have sufficient wealth to bring in a photographer on occasion.<BR/>My personal preference is for the very pensive looking straight at the camera image but the one with a halo added and arms folded, looking upward, is probably the most widely reproduced.<BR/>My absolute favorite is the photo (somewhat touched up unfortunately) of Gemma as a child, with her little sister Angelina in hand. The shoes are worth noting.<BR/>Rudolph M. BellRudolph Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06791544961551555620noreply@blogger.com
