Saints of The Passion:
St. Gemma, Page 2: Prayers

Prayer for Obtaining Graces Composed by the servant of God, St. Gemma Galgani Behold me at Thy Sacred Feet, dear Jesus, to acknowledge my gratitude for the many favors shown me. As often as I have invoked Thee, Thou hast always granted my prayer: as often as I have had recourse to Thee, Thou hast consoled me. How can I express my gratitude, dear Jesus? I thank Thee. But I wish another grace: O my God, if it please Thee, grant me . . . If Thou were not Omnipotent I would not make this request. O Jesus, have mercy on me. May Thy holy will be done in all things. Prayer of Saint Gemma Galgani O my crucified God, behold me at Thy feet; deign to cast me not out, now that I appear before Thee as a sinner. I have offended Thee exceedingly in the past, my Jesus, but it shall be so no longer. Before Thee, my God, I put all my sins. I have now considered them and behold, they do not deserve Thy pardon; but do Thou cast one glance upon Thy sufferings and see how great is the worth of that Precious Blood that flows from Thy veins. O my God, at this hour close Thine eyes to my want of merit and open them to Thine infinite merit, and since Thou hast been pleased to die for my sins, grant me forgiveness for them all, that I may no longer feel the burden of my sins, for this burden, dear Jesus, oppresses me beyond measure. Assist me, my Jesus, for I desire to become good whatsoever it may cost; take away, destroy, utterly root out all that Thou findest in me contrary to Thy holy will. At the same time I pray Thee, O Jesus, to enlighten me, that I may be able to walk in Thy holy light.  ------ St. Gemma Galgani For info on purchasing a laminated holy card of the Saint or to print one from here, click the forward motif.
