I'm a...I love this prayer, I did it last Lent. <br />I'm a nursing student now and as such research more into medical happenings/phenomena that occur in the human body. <br />Hematohidrosis is a condition in which the blood supply feeding the sweat glands constricts (tightens) under great mental stress, then it is believed that after the stress is removed the blood vessels dilate (widen) so greatly that they rupture. This rupture causes bleeding into the sweat glands, which then causes bleeding from out of the sweat glands onto the skin. Only people in great states of mental stress have been observed having this happen to them (intense fear of being attacked, prisoners condemned to die, etc.). <br />It is very rare. <br />Medically speaking it could be suggested that after Jesus said His Great Fiat that (as the current theory goes) He could have experienced a great mental relief, or enough to undue the constriction of the blood vessels causing them to dilate and rupture, thus sweating blood. <br />I wasn't there (and wasn't revealed the details through prayers or a vision) and can't say what happened, and it is a rare and thus not fully explored phenomenon, but it is certainly food for thought. I think it was at least worth mentioning as He only began to sweat blood after He said to the Father that which He did...because I know saying that does take a lot of stress off me personally.

Thanks for you comment.<br /><br />To my knowledge this Holy Hour practised weekly by St Gemma has never been translated into Swedish. It would be wonderful if you might consider doing it. I am sure that God would guide you and also reward you for your efforts. And surely St Gemma would be pleased also, given that she was so devoted to this particular Holy hour.<br />And so, feel free to translate it if you would like and I will gratefully publish it on this website when you are finished.<br /><br />Feel free to contact me through email if you would like.<br /><br />May God bless you and yours,<br />Glenn DallaireGlenn Dallairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14335880223972671663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055912381407477995.post-72235541342101660022010-03-09T13:49:54.735-05:002010-03-09T13:49:54.735-05:00Dear Glenn,

I too (I saw the last comment was on this subject as well) have a question about language...namely if you know if there is a Swedish translation available?

Gemma had been a student in their school and having left because of sickness, she was visited a few days before her miraculous cure by one of the Sisters of St Zita, Sister Giulia Sestina, who gave her the Holy Hour booklet, as published on this website.<BR/><BR/>I have not seen it published in Portuguese thusfar.<BR/><BR/>If you are knowledgable in both English and Portuguese perhaps you could volunteer to translate it?<BR/>Please email me back if interested.<BR/><BR/>May God bless you and yours,<BR/>GlennGlenn Dallairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14335880223972671663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055912381407477995.post-47273293353702392032009-01-21T00:45:00.000-05:002009-01-21T00:45:00.000-05:00The Holy Hour used by St. Gemma is this one posted...The Holy Hour used by St. Gemma is this one posted in this page?

Since while making the Holy Hour she was often drawn into ecstacy, she would always do the Holy Hour quietly in her room, with the door shut.<BR/><BR/>Close to death during her first illness (spinal meningitis), she had promised Jesus that if she was cured she would make the Holy Hour every Thursday night. As you probaly know, she was in fact cured, after making a Novena to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. <BR/><BR/>According to her Biography, she kept this promise of making the Holy Hour faithfully until her death.<BR/><BR/>May God bless you and yours,<BR/>Glenn DallaireGlenn Dallairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14335880223972671663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055912381407477995.post-79471058586594415042009-01-15T15:15:00.000-05:002009-01-15T15:15:00.000-05:00Did she make a holy hour at her home each Thursday...Did she make a holy hour at her home each Thursday or at church?Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11386506163403564805noreply@blogger.com
