Saint Gemma Galgani, born in 1878 in Italy, displayed extraordinary piety from an early age. Orphaned at a young age, she faced poverty and illness. Despite hardships, Gemma's devout faith and mystical experiences, including visions of her guardian angel and conversations with Jesus, shaped her spiritual journey. The wounds of the stigmata, imitating Christ's crucifixion, appeared on her body. Gemma's humility, selfsacrifice, and commitment to prayer and penance left a lasting legacy. Her life was one of profound mystical encounters and profound devotion to the Catholic faith, inspiring many to seek a deeper connection with God through her example. Gemma Galgani was canonized in 1940, and her feast day is celebrated on April 11th.
