Prayer to St. Gemma Galgani

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

You take care of them!

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

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

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