-St Maximilian Kolbe

“When we die, we will not be criticized for having failed to work miracles. We will not be accused of having failed to be theologians or contemplatives. But we will certainly have some explanations to offer to God for not having mourned unceasingly.”-St John Climacus

Hello #CatholicTwitter . It’s been a long time! Today’s the feast day of #StGemmaGalgani , a saint very close to my heart. What a gift she was in my life during the time of my #spiritualwarfare . If you’re struggling w/ affliction, pray for her intercession. She’ll have your back!

WHY DID YOU SUFFER FOR ME DEAR JESUS?
FOR LOVE! THE NAILS ...THE CROWN ...THE CROSS ...ALL FOR FOR LOVE OF ME!
FOR YOU, I SACRIFICE EVERYTHING WILLINGLY.

~St.Gemma Galgani

Father,
You graciously prepared the Blessed Virgin to accept your gift of your dear Son for the salvation of the world.
She is now adorned with a royal diadem and urges our needs before the throne of God.
Blest be the holy name of Mary!
