I would like to get back to providing for my family and trying to alleviate the sufferings of others.

How wonderful to read all these precious comments! All of you give me hope! I was not aware of St. Gemma, and also her ability to pray for us when we experience attacks of impurity. I feel mentally attacked by evil thoughts, and keep a rosary and holy water with me every night, as my lower back is in the most pain when I lay down at night. May God have mercy on me, and may St. Gemma pray for me for healing and to be able to deal with all of this, and also for deliverance from these evil attacks on my mind.

Earlier that day, in their gift shop, I had learned that St. Gemma of Galgani was the patron saint of back pain. After a suddeen onset of back pain symptoms, my son Googled St. Gemma and as my family laid hands on me and prayed I wondered prayerfully if I should make friends with Gemma and get her involved in my ongoing recovery from various back-related things.<br /><br />Now I"m home, taking a sick day, fasting and praying, and learning about my new "coach" St. Gemma. I don't mean to be disrespectful by thinking of her this way: anyone who learns the first thing about her life can never disrespect her. I only mean to indicate how much I hope she will closely advise me, minute by minute, as I make the choices I daily make. Asking St. Gemma to "coach" me is an expression of my admitted need for intense, intimate help with my mind and spirit as well as my body.<br /><br /><br />This morning, googling St. Gemma, I remembered the Scripture from James about anyone lacksing wisdom let him ask God for it, and He is gracious and just to provide it. The Holy Spirit pointed out that Jesus has healed me many times in the past, with and without doctors and meds, and indeed is constantly healing me all the time regardless of my awareness of it. If I have back pain right now, He's choosing to allow me the opportunities afforded by this back pain so I had better not waste them. St. Gemma's example is a reminder that it can be a blessing if I choose to be blessed by it and bless others by it.<br /><br />I"m also happy to learn that St. Gemma is the patron of pharmacists. She didn't need a heavenly perspective to understand the simple truth that meds arren't perfect but they aare what we have here on earth, and we are able to accept them as gifts provided by God.<br /><br />THis has been a long post, so I'll conclude by saying that I've asked Jesus if it's ok to have St. Gemma as a new, knowledgeable friend who can help me make daily deciwions that will affect my health. I would like her to help me follow her example of loving Jesus most of all and of serving others in His name, by any means available.<br /><br />Thanks for your patience with my long post. I will post an update if God allows.crzsabashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17506498467926578851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055912381407477995.post-34494003362544160302021-06-03T04:25:44.337-04:002021-06-03T04:25:44.337-04:00Dear Saint Gemma and Saint Gabriel Possenti I am p...Dear Saint Gemma and Saint Gabriel Possenti I am praying an intention to both of you asking for favorable request and your intercession and asking you to please give my Mother Anecita Agot Plaza a MIRACLE.

A couple years ago, although she was done wearing her back brace, she chose Gemma as her confirmation name since because of the connection to the spine. She had originally wanted a saint associated with dance because that is a big part of her life, but Vitus was a man. So she then searched for the saint of back's and found Gemma. It was either divine or coincidence because Gemma was a favorite name of hers that she said she'd love to name a child. We had no idea she was also a saint. Furthermore her beautification and canonization dates match birthdays of people in our family and she was born in a town that our ancestors came from (and some apparently still live).

I have lots of metal in me with rods and screws. I also have back pain going on 35 years now. I was on painkillers 24/7 and fentanyl pain patches and was addicted, but now quit them. I don't remember the last time I ever slept 8 hours non-stop. My nights are usually 4,5,to 6 hours of sleep per night, always awakened. One night my back was in so much pain and it was very late and could not sleep, I was at the point of tears. I got up and prayed to St Gemma to please take my pain away and get me to very much needed sleep. I went back to bed and fell right asleep.(I can lay in bed for hours till I fall asleep)I woke up in the morning and I did not feel a single pain throughout my entire body. My back, leg, hip and other parts were completely painless. I got up thinking it was 7:00 am like usual. I looked at the clock and it was 11 AM! I must of slept at least over 10 hours without waking up once. <br />I still have the pain every day & night, and accept these pains, but I have prayed again on the bad nights and she is always there to help me through again.<br />Thanks St Gemma.Kevin Bordeleaunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055912381407477995.post-56357856444119351842016-12-03T14:22:23.621-05:002016-12-03T14:22:23.621-05:00Hi "Saint in training",

I hope that you continue to find the stories in the life of Gemma to be edifying and inspiring, and may St Gemma be very close to you and may she lead you ever closer to Jesus and Mary!<br /><br />May God bless you and your loved ones,<br />Glenn DallaireGlenn Dallairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14335880223972671663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055912381407477995.post-35704710762526736302016-12-02T23:13:00.690-05:002016-12-02T23:13:00.690-05:00Dear Glenn,
