Was an alterboy, choirboy, conformation Catholic education k - 11. In 1962 join the military, I gradually fell out of the church. Still prayed married in the church and divorced 23 years later. Just lived as many in society live. Remarried 25 years outside the church. But though 60 years away from the church. And through the Diocese Bishop. And living a sexless marriage (80 years old now) I’m back to Confession & Communion. Then on Facebook Saint Gemma Galgani picture pops up and I instantly wanted to<br />Learn all I could about her. She is my patron St., and will pray her novena daily. 🙏Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055912381407477995.post-48159911614744863782022-10-16T13:25:42.897-04:002022-10-16T13:25:42.897-04:00Please tell us if you have any interesting facts a...Please tell us if you have any interesting facts about her.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055912381407477995.post-45097254754094520982022-06-20T13:12:04.443-04:002022-06-20T13:12:04.443-04:00Although I'm not Catholic (I'm Anglican), ...Although I'm not Catholic (I'm Anglican), I did do a Catholic homeschooling program and learned about the saints there. I'm so glad that I did, otherwise I wouldn't have learned about Saint Gemma Galgani, Saint Maria Goretti, and all the other saints out there! A few months ago, I had back pain that lasted for weeks and wouldn't go away. Not even pain killers could help. So I immediately went to search online for a saint that I could pray to for back pain, and I found Saint Gemma Galgani. I looked up a prayer that could help me out. After saying the prayer I waited for a little bit to see if she had answered me. And, in less than an hour, all the pain had gone away! I was in such awe, and I was so amazed, I couldn't speak! Now I pray to her at nighttime when I'm about to go to bed, as that's when the back pain is the worst and I usually wake up in the middle of the night due to either back pain or back stiffness. Now, since I've started praying to her at night before bed, I've noticed that I haven't been waking up nearly as much from the back pain! I'm still amazed by what she can do to relieve me from my pain! Saint Gemma, thank you for coming spiritually into my life!

Thank you SO MUCH for sharing the story...Hi Angelo,<br />Thank you SO MUCH for sharing the story of your blessed visit to the Monastery of St Gemma, and the other St Gemma places.<br /><br />Without a doubt Gemma arranged this providential meeting between you (and your wife), the volunteer and the pilgrims from America. It was most certainly a special grace and blessing for all of you. Thank God for His kindness, and may He be blessed through his servant, Saint Gemma.<br /><br />And I would like to receive, as you suggested, any photos that you would like to share.<br /><br />I pray that St Gemma may always be close to you, and may she lead you ever closer to Jesus, her beloved Spouse.<br />-Glenn DallaireGlenn Dallairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14335880223972671663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5055912381407477995.post-29235599747093144002011-10-10T12:37:48.459-04:002011-10-10T12:37:48.459-04:00Two weeks ago my wife and myself had vacationed in...Two weeks ago my wife and myself had vacationed in Lucca and had the privelege of visiting the Cathedral where Saint Gemma is buried. The next day we called to see if we could get a tour of her house but were told it was too short notice to set up an appointement with a volunteer. Disappointed for sure but we understood. We decided to return to the Cathedral the next day to buy a few more cards and relics. Upon entering the gift shop we saw that there were two american girls in the shop and the volunteer in the shop was trying to tell the girls about Saint Gemma. (They are very devoted to her...). I volunteered to help translate as the man made a valient attempt but his english was a bit limited.) All were happy and a lot of Saint Gemma stories were told. I then explained to him that my wife and myself tried to set up an appointment to see the house but were turned down due to short notice. He said: "Tell you what, all of you meet me after 6.00 PM after mass and I will give you a tour of the house as I am a volunteer!". You can imagine our joy!. I can only believe Saint Gemma wanted us to visit her house were she got the stigmata. We were overjoyed and I cannot describe the blessing we all received. The next day we also went and found the Gianninni house were she lived after her parents died and got a tour by one of the good nuns there. Finally we found the house she died in and stood in front. Words cannot describe the feelings and how blessed we felt. I will send pictures to the moderator of this site shortly so he can post them if he desires. <br /><br />AngeloAngelonoreply@blogger.com
