And since he was such an extraordinary spiritual director and was sought after by many people (due to the holiness of this man, the Church has since declared him "Venerable") , he initially did not want to meet Gemma, and was very skeptical and prudent concerning her remarkable mystical graces, but God gave him and extraordinary miracle on the day that he first met her, to show him that God was working in her, and because of that miracle he agreed to become her spiritual director, and thus we now have all the wonderful information that he documented concerning her extraordinary life. Thus, God used this respected holy Priest to prove the authenticity of the extraordinary graces that He was showering upon Gemma.<br /><br />Speaking of this, here is the remarkable account of the miracle that God gave to Venerable Father Germanus on the day that he first met Saint Gemma.<br /><A HREF="http://www.stgemmagalgani.com/2008/10/st-gemma-pleads-for-sinner-and-obtains.html" REL="nofollow">Miracle given to Father Germanus to prove to him the holiness of St Gemma</A>I hope you enjoy the book on St Gemma.

Only yesterday I told Fr. Peter Damian M. Fehlner, F.I. on the phone that I was reading her biography as told by her Spiritual Director, Venerable Fr. Germanus, C.P. Roy S. Tenn.Roy S.
