I find great strength reading about this Saint and how she too struggled with suffering. We are all called to be Saints! Keep up your prayers for those in purgatory,it is so great that you offer up your prayers for them. They are greatly needed, I too pray for them. Please pray for me in my sufferings and I will pray you.<br /><br />Your Brother in Christ,<br /><br />Anthony Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795606027715646924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055912381407477995.post-60795937968866511792017-09-02T10:09:41.897-04:002017-09-02T10:09:41.897-04:00Thank you Jacqui.

I came by St Gemma totally by surprise....Hi Glen,<br /> <br />I came by St Gemma totally by surprise. I was checking out SpiritDaily.com which I do every day when her picture came up on screen. I was immediately drawn to this beautiful young woman and could not wait to read her story. Wanting to know more I ordered her book and then the devotion began. She taught me how to love Jesus with your whole heart and mind and how she surrendered her life to him. It has helped me a lot to accept my disability and illness. <br /><br />And now instead of wasting my suffering I offer it up for the souls in purgatory. I pray to her several times a day asking for guidance and support with each new day as it comes. My dream is to visit Lucca before I get much worse in my illness, so if it is gods will I will hopefully go this year, just to see where she lived and walked would be amazing. <br /><br />How lovely it is to find somebody else with such a great devotion to St Gemma as she is virtually unknown here in Ireland. Hopefully that will change very soon and devotion will spread because I tell everyone about her and how amazing she is. I think your website is excellent and gave me a full introduction to this wonderful saint. Keep up the good work Glen.<br /> <br />Best wishes,<br /> <br />JacquiJacquinoreply@blogger.com
