I started the first few weeks of the new year reading through excerpts of St. Gemma's diary after Mass. I've read through it a few times in past years, and really gained a lot from it. And going through some of her points and spiritual life with Jesus after Mass were very enriching.
I have a picture of her above my bed. And I included a part of her writings in my talk to confirmation students. The day I was composing the talk, I read the reflection for that day in line with the readings for Mass. And there was a reflection taken from St Gemma! I had a feeling because as I was reading it, it sounded like her writing, and spiritual life.
I feel she is my spiritual friend and sister, accompanying me on this journey and walk of faith, and am inspired by her example and witness of her strong relationship with Jesus.
So beautiful sis! She is watching over you. Love your devotion to her. Xo
