Triduum in honor of St Gemma to obtain a special favor

Triduum (3 day) of prayers in honor of St Gemma Galgani to obtain a special grace

DAY 1
Preface: Oh most merciful Lord, we humbly prostrate ourselves before Thy Infinite Majesty, and we adore Thee and dedicate to Thy glory the devout prayers which we now present to Thee, as an act of devotion to your servant, St Gemma Galgani, whose intercession we are now imploring.

Most compassionate virgin St. Gemma, during thy short life on earth, you gave a most beautiful example of angelic innocence and seraphic love, and was found worthy to bear in thy flesh the marks of our Lord's Passion. Have pity on us who are so much in need of God's Mercy, and obtain for us through thy merits and intercession, the special favor which we now fervently implore (mention request)

Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be.

Pray for us, St. Gemma, that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray
O God, Who fashioned thy servant St Gemma into a likeness of Thy Crucified Son, grant us through her intercession, the favor that we humbly request, and through the passion, death and resurrection of Thy Son, may we be united with You for all eternity. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

O worthy Spouse of the Lamb of God and faithful virgin St Gemma, you preserved the innocence and splendor of virginity, giving to the world a bright example of purity and the most exalted virtues, look down with pity from thy high place in heaven upon us who confide in thee, as we implore thee for the favor we so ardently desire (mention request)

Gemma is the patron of pharmacists, as her father was one in life, so I said her Tridium in hopes of stopping drug misuse.

Glenn Dallaire said...

Hi Janos,
Certainly that is a good prayer intention! I pray that St Gemma may obtain that grace from God, as you request.

Please intercede St. Gemma for a job so I can support my family and meet the honest obligations we took on responsibly, not for materialism's sake but to praise God for His Mercy and remember ever more to praise His Name, how He is so Merciful to wretched sinners. That I may go forward as an obedient son of His Holy Church. Amen.

Please pray to St. Gemma for my husband, John M.
John has been away from the Church for many years and is ready to return-Praise God!

John is currently afflicted by oppression. When he is in Our Lord's holy presence, such as at Mass or discussing this oppression with a priest, he feels as if the walls are caving in on him, becomes very tense and sometimes runs out. He tries to resist this, and sometimes can with much difficulty.
Please pray for this oppression to stop and that evil or oppression never afflict him again.
Also please pray for the Holy Spirit's guidance in John's General Confession.

I am beginning the St. Gemma Tridium and Novena today and awaiting a favorable outcome.
Thank you so much.

Glenn Dallaire said...

Dear Anonymous,
I join you in prayer for your husband John. May God strenghthen and guide him, and may St Gemma be your advocate and help to obtain the necessary graces.

May God bless you and yours,

Fr Cusick said...

I saw here photo on the internet. I cannot keep her out of my mind. I am asking for her intercession for a life long problem. She thought she was a great sinner. St Gemma you never were in my league. When it comes to sin I rank very high. Pray for me even though I try and beg for Gods help. If I get the the last rites pray for me because my stay in purgatory will span centuries.

Fr Cusick said...

Fr Cusick I am not. I need the intercession of St Gemma for kicking a addiction. I go to confession,daily communion,say the divine office,say 4 05 rosaries a day. I say the divine mercy chaplet too. I sill keep falling into the same sin. Its starting to drive me crazy. St Gemma pray for me because I cannot understand why I do it.

Glenn Dallaire said...

Dear Fr. Cusick,
Listen Father...Gemma will help free you of the addiction--she spent the entire month of August, 1902 sweating blood for Priests.

So this is what you need to do. Each time the temptation comes to your mind, picture Gemma in your mind and say "My Jesus mercy; Gemma help me".
And the temptation will leave you, and you will be freed. Do this Father...
...and continue to make this Triduum to Gemma.

Union in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary.

I am a Fourteen-year-old girl with scoliosis. I am very active, but I am limited to the things I love to do with my friends and family. I believe that prayer can help heal anything, and I need yours. Thanks!<3

Glenn Dallaire said...

Hi Anonymous,
Thank you for your comment.

I too have scoliosis, and have had to do back muscle strengthening and stretching exercises everyday for over 10 years.
As you know, St Gemma is a excellent advocate for all those who suffer with back problems, considering all that she suffered with her spinal disease, having to wear a back brace and undergo a painful spinal operation.

Anyway, I offer my poor prayers for your intentions. Please pray also for my family and I.
May God bless you and your loved ones.

We are having some very serious issues with our son ( age 27) regarding sexual orientation. I have been reading a lot about this complicated issue and I see that our current society has been encouraging a narrow and unhealthy paradigm when there are indeed other ways to choose to live when one is attracted to the same sex. I see that there are many people who are able to create a life with healthy and fulfilling lives by being honest about their feelings with the people closest to them, but by choosing to live the way God dictates.We are praying for this enlightenment. St. Gemma is a new saint for me. I see that she is also a saint to invoke for purity so I am asking her intercession and I am asking for supportive prayers for our son's enlightenment and the strength and courage to not follow the "crowd" but follow the Truth.I also need prayers that all of his siblings will support a newer and healthier approach for him and not be brainwashed by trendy, societal expectations. I ask that Jesus, the Blessed Mother and St. Michael the Archangel and St.Padre Pio as well as St. Gemma stay around him and all the children and family always. Thank you Glenn for this wonderful website. I have been visiting it daily and find much solace here! God bless you and guide you always too!

Glenn Dallaire said...

Hi Anonymous,
Thanks for your comments.

St Gemma, Please take pity on my mother S.A.U. that she may heal quickly and speedily from her spine surgery. Heal her anxiety and confusion from the side effects of the pain medication that the doctors are giving her. Give her body the strength to walk again, to explore this beautiful world with her family. Please hear her cries and requests as she is in much pain. She loves God and had always done His work. Her back pain is from a 38 year nursing career, helping wounded warriors; she has given much to those around her. I ask that your mercy and pity will take up this cross from her shoulders and make her burden light.

Dear one,

I reccomend to visit Blessed Sacrament daily. Have good confession done with a Priest. Read Bible and pray rosary daily. Chronic Insomnia is not normal, but our Lord want to heal our body and heart too. Visit to Bless Sacrament will help,because Christ is there flesh, soul, divinity. Also, recommend Fr Chad Ruppeger.on Demonic Oppression

Brenda said...

Hi Glenn,

I have to say that my incidental finding of your website led me to this very holy saint and have since prayed for her intercession. I would like to share that I had to take an exam that is job-related, not mandatory but more like a specialization. The prep time recommended is a year to study. I feel that I prepared well for the test but after taking it I did not feel so confident that I would pass it. In fact, I was sure I was going to have to retake. You have that feeling - after reviewing some of the questions and knowing the answers after the fact, I was pretty sure I was on the negative side.

In the meantime, while waiting for results, I have developed this devotion to our dear St Gemma. I did this prayer, triduum, with great and fervent faith believing that she is and will be interceding for me. I did not lose faith and in fact hoped for the miracle.

Well, I received the results today and what a surprise! I did pass! I know in my heart that it was not me. It was Jesus who never once let me down and with the intercession of our Blessed Mother and of course St Gemma who made all this possible.

Now I have this desire and calling to make this saint known to everyone I know and I just cannot thank you enough for all the work you put into making this web page possible for us, your readers, and for introducing me to St Gemma. Imagine all the blessings that come your way for every soul that comes to know (better) all these great saints. What joy? What grace? For I believe to know them would be to know our dear God, our Lord Jesus.

Thanks Glenn.

Brenda
