in body and spirit,
teach us how to sacrifice

as an act of devotion to your servant,
St Gemma Galgani,
whose intercession we are now imploring.
Oh glorious St Gemma,
for years you greatly desired
to enter the consecrated religious life,
but God desired otherwise,
telling you after many years
that it was not to be,
and thereby causing you such great disappointment.
Yet, you accepted this great sacrifice
and resigned yourself to the will of God.
Teach us then, dear St Gemma,
to accept the sacrifices and sufferings
that God permits in our lives,
especially those that are very much
against our own will and desires.

We who are so inclined to pamper ourselves,
