St. Gemma Galgani Novena - Day 9

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. Oh most lovable St Gemma, we ask you to be our patroness and special friend today and always. Assist us in our daily spiritual and material needs and teach us to know, love and serve the Lord our God with all our hearts. Accompany us, along with our guardian Angel, in all our ways, and guide us lovingly to Heaven. Assist us at the time of our death along with Jesus, Mary and Joseph, and plead our cause before God, and trusting in His great mercy and the Passion of Jesus thy Spouse, obtain for us the salvation of our souls, and also the favor that we now humbly request (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. I want to say that the novena I said to St. Gemma exceeded my wildest expectations. I’m a true believer in these things but this was almost immediate. I had a disc issue in my back that was causing such debilitating pain I was almost helpless in certain situations. I had some relief from day one of the novena and progressively until by when I finished the ninth day it was as though the injury ever happened. Complete recovery!! I was told it would be a month at best for a lot of relief medically. I am so grateful to this blessed saint!! I know it was her intercession to our Lord that did it. from K.E. She helped me with my back pain daily. She helped my brother with his and his postop course. She is helping me with my migraines. I also pray for the pharmacists in my life, there are many. She is amazing. from S.R. St Gemma reminded me about the novena. I was one or two days late, but she wanted me to pray this novena. My back started to hurt, and I had an MRI done. I have a herniated disc but without the pain I use to have. I know St Gemma prayed for me to mother Mary and Jesus. from I.M. I thank St Gemma Galgani for begging our Lord Jesus Christ for helping me flee from sexual immorality. Glory be to God! from L.B. Answered prayers through St Gemma’s Novena for remission of back pain! from S.R. This novena helped me with my back pain. I no longer have it after the third or fourth day of the novena! Even though God removed my pain, in thanksgiving I continued the novena through all nine days. Thank you St Gemma. My brother’s back operation was successful through St Gemma’s intercession. She helped cure my daughter’s back pain.
