Saint Gemma Galgani
Mystic who bore the precious Wounds of Our Savior
The curtain is falling on the 19th Century. The Heresy of Modernism would soon show its venomous fangs and the Church, through her holy Pope Saint Pius X, would fight it, dispelling it for all time, or so he hoped. We, know now at the tail end of the 20th Century that this did not come to pass. We are, once again, suffering the same Heresy combined with centuries of other condemned heresies, all in one deadly poisonous attack disguised under the name of enlightenment.
The Lord was wounded by His sons, those He had commissioned to be guardians of the Faith. He needed a victim-soul. His priests and bishops, who were supposed to be victim-priests with Him, had once again betrayed Him, and He needed a soul who would be faithful and obedient until death, one who would share His Wounds and Passion. And so, a Gemma was born!
The Lord sends down a Gem from Heaven to bless the world
In Camigliano, a small village not too far from the historic city of Lucca, the Lord blessed Aurelia Landi2 and Enrico Galgani on March 12, 1878, with a tiny, precious little baby girl (as the priest who baptized her, exclaimed upon seeing her), una Gemma del Paradiso!
Gemma’s mother had hesitated naming her new-born child Gemma, as it was not a Saint’s name, but did so, taking the priest’s words as prophecy that the Lord had blessed them with a gem from Heaven.
Once again, we find Holy Clusters
3 as we discover, Gemma’s father descended from the same family as a Saint, St. John Leonardi. Gemma would bless the same city, Lucca, that another Saint, St. Zita4 blessed in the 13th Century. As her father had relocated his family to Lucca, soon after Gemma was born, she spent most of her twenty five years of life there, and now after death, rests there for the faithful to come and venerate till today.
Although she was one of seven children, she and her brother Gino were their father’s favorites. He liked to take Gemma
