J.M.J. As we continue in the spirit of profound joy during this Octave of Easter, we are reminded that today in 1903, which that year was Holy Saturday, Saint Gemma Galgani died.
What beautiful things Saint Gemma said to Our Lady.
"Dear Blessed Mother, lend
me your Heart. I look for it each day to pour my troubles into."
"Oh, how I love my
Mother! She knows it; and then Jesus Himself gave
her to me, and told me to love her so much. And what great goodness this
Heavenly Mother has always shown me! What would have become of me, if I had not
had her? She has always helped me in my spiritual wants; she has preserved me
from countless dangers; she has freed me from the hands of the devil who was
ceaselessly coming to molest me; she pleaded my cause with Jesus when I
sinned, and she soothed Him when I moved Him to anger by my wicked life; she
has taught me to know Him and love Him, to be good and to please Him. Ah, my
dear Mother, I will love thee always and forever."
Mary, The First Witness of Our Risen Lord, pray for us.
