O Holy Gemma, you are near me; help me to pray.
You know what I and those near me need:
please look after my urgent needs,
and my spiritual and material desires.

Please take care of them!

I confide in you and entrust all to your loving care.

Offer to Jesus that tender and constant care
that you bore Him here on earth.

O Holy Gemma,
who physically suffered all the pains of the Passion of Jesus,
I beseech through your intercession
the grace to meditate on and live the Passion of Jesus
and the sufferings of Mary.

Pray that I will be able to walk in the path of
humility,
simplicity,
love,
and sacrifice,
fulfilling at all times, and in all ways,
the holy will of God.

Let me live united with Jesus,
the Blessed Virgin,
and you,
for all eternity.

Amen.
