Prayer to St. Gemma Galgani (back problems)

Oh glorious St. Gemma Galgani you suffered excruciating back pain for years.   You know how painful it is to have doctors cauterize your back and how restricting it is to wear an iron brace. 

You know well what people with back pain suffer.  Teach (name person) through your perfect example how to suffer out of love for Christ for the salvation of souls. 

O holy saint, you embraced suffering and sacrifice with tranquility and deep joy.  So, St. Gemma, we offer to you (name person) and all who suffer with back issues. 

Plead with the Holy Spirit to fill them with every grace needed to endure their suffering with grace, humble resignation, peace and joy.

Please take (name person) in your holy arms and carry him/her to your beloved Spouse fervently praying that He take (name person) in His arms and place him/her within His Sacred Heart and heal him/her if that be His holy will.

Thank you St. Gemma for interceding for (name person) and for pleading his/her case before the Lord. I look forward to a favorable outcome through your intercession. Amen.

Prayer to St Gemma to obtain a desired grace

Behold me at Your most holy feet, O dear Jesus, to manifest to you my gratitude for the continual favors which You have bestowed upon me, and still wish to bestow upon me.

As many times as I have invoked You, O Jesus, You have made me content; I have often had recourse to You and You have always consoled me. How shall I express myself to You, dear Jesus? I thank you! Yet one more grace I desire of you, O my God, if it would be pleasing to You (here mention your request).

If you were not omnipotent, I would not make this request. O Jesus, have pity on me. May your most holy will be done in all things”. Pray for us, Saint Gemma, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen

Prayer of St. Gemma Galgani

O my crucified God, behold me at Your feet; do not cast me out, now that I appear before You as a sinner. I have offended You exceedingly in the past, my Jesus, but it shall be so no longer. Before You, O Lord, I place all my sins; I have now considered Your own sufferings and see how great is the worth of that Precious Blood that flows from Your veins. 

O my God, at this hour close Your eyes to my want of merit, and since You have 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 You find in me contrary to Your holy will. At the same time, I pray You, Lord Jesus, to enlighten me that I may be able to walk in Your holy light. Amen.

Prayer to St. Gemma Galgani

Oh holy Gemma, I am near you, help me to pray. 

You know what I and those near me need; look after my urgent needs and 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. 

Oh 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 Mary, and you, for all eternity. Amen.

Prayer to St. Gemma Galgani

Oh St. Gemma, How compassionate was your love for those in distress, and how great your desire to help them. Help me, also in my present necessity and obtain for me the favor I humbly implore, if it be profitable for my soul.

The numerous miracles and the wonderful favors attributed to your intercession instill in me the confidence that you can help me. Pray to Jesus, your Spouse, for me. Show Him the stigmata which His love has given you.

Remind Him of the blood which flowed from these same wounds, the excruciating pain which you have suffered and the tears which you have shed for the salvation of souls. Place all this as your precious treasure in a chalice of love and Jesus will hear you. Amen.
