Today is feast of st.Gemma Galgani!
(Passionists celebrate her feast on May 16.)
Great daughter of Passion and one of the youngest mystics of Church.

Although Gemma Galgani was not a Passionist in the canonical sense, God raised her up as a true paradigm for those with a desire to follow St. Paul. Such a commitment demands an inner conformity to the Passion. Marked with the physical wounds of Jesus, Gemma reminds Passionists how they are called to keep the memory of the Passion alive not only in word but in actions. Through example and suffering, the Passionists must live a loving commitment to follow Jesus crucified, in a generous resolve to proclaim his passion and death with faith and love. For as the original rule states, Passionists are called “to suffer many things,” not only for the glory of God and for their own personal salvation, but also “for the salvation of others.”

She is patron saint of pharmacists, those who losted parents, those suffering with back illnesses, back injury or pain, suffering with migraines and headaches, struggling with temptations and those seeking purity of heart.

St. Gemma Galgani pray for us!

Yes indeed! I prayed a few extra prayers by her and to her on Saturday. Didn’t she die on Holy Saturday? So this was a special feast day.
 
My 17 year old sister has scoliosis, and that is her patron Saint
 
Yes, she died on Holy Saturday, and this year it is even more special because her feast was again on Holy Saturday. 😊
I love her so much!
