St. Gemma Galgani Novena - Day 6

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. St Gemma, patroness of all students, pharmacists, those who have lost their parents, those suffering back injury or back pain, those suffering from headaches or migraines, and those struggling with temptations to impurity, we turn to you in this novena and trust in your intercession. Lord, we humbly prostrate ourselves before Thy Majesty, and we adore Thee and dedicate to Thy glory the devout prayers which we now present to Thee, as an act of devotion to your servant, St Gemma Galgani, whose intercession we are now imploring. Most compassionate virgin, St. Gemma, during your short life on earth, you gave a most beautiful example of angelic innocence and seraphic love and were found worthy to bear in your flesh the marks of our Lord’s Passion. Have pity on us who are so much in need of God’s Mercy, and obtain for us through thy merits and intercession all the graces we need from God. Beloved Gem of Christ St Gemma, whose heart was all on fire for the love of God, teach us to love God with all our hearts, minds and souls, and fervently place God above all things, so that where our treasure is, there also will our heart be. (mention request here…) Our Father Hail Mary Glory Be Pray for us, Saint Gemma, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Let us pray: O God, Who fashioned thy servant Saint Gemma into a likeness of Thy Crucified Son, grant us through her intercession the favor that we humbly request, and through the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Thy Son, may we be united with You for all eternity. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.Amen.
