Prayer to Saint Gemma Galgani
O Saint Gemma, how compassionate was your
Love for those in distress, how great your zeal
To help
them. Help me, also, in my present
Necessity and obtain for me the favor I
Humbly implore, if it be profitable for my soul.
The numerous
miracles and the wonderful
Favors attributed to your intercession instill
In me the confidence that you can help me.
Pray to Jesus, your
Spouse, for me; show Him
The stigmata which His love has given you,
Remind Him of the blood which flowed from
These same wonders, the
excruciating pain
Which you have suffered, the tears which you
Have shed for the salvation of souls. Place all
This as your precious
treasure in a chalice of
Love, and Jesus will hear you.
Amen.
Prayer to Saint Gemma Galgani
Saint Gemma, you are honored as the
Patron of those who suffer from Back
Pains and Spinal Issues.
Saint Gemma,
Have pity on all who labor under the
Cross and are in need of God’s mercy.
You suffered from Back Ailments all
Your life
until you were cured by your
Strong devotion to the Sacred Heart of
Jesus. I now call upon your heavenly
Assistance and ask you to intercede
on
My behalf, before the Most Sacred Heart
Of Jesus. Pray for me so that I may be
Cured of my Back Pains and Back Issues,
So that I may
be able to enjoy pain free
All the beauty that life has to offer in
God’s beautiful world.
Amen.
