Place me under your mantle, guard this treasure for me, and I shall become more pleasing to Jesus."</strong></em><br /><br />We turn to you then, Oh holy Gemma, and we make your prayers to Jesus and Mary our own, calling upon your heavenly assistance for the grace of holy purity. Assist us then, dear Gemma, in obtaining this precious jewel from Jesus, with the help of our beloved Mother Mary. Be our heavenly friend and patroness, and lead us ever closer into the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the infinite source of purity. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN.<br />___________________________________________<br /><br />A heroic example of St Gemma's desire for purity:<br />Among the devout practices that Gemma performed to obtain and preserve holy purity was one that was taught to her at a very young age by her solicitous mother. Together with her mother they would recite devoutly every evening while kneeling with their hands under their knees, three Hail Marys to the Queen of Heaven in honor of her Immaculate Conception. The innocent child, though knowing so little at that early age, took keenly to this devotion and never omitted it, continuing this holy practice daily until the end of her life.<br /><br />In fact, a few days before her death, finding herself alone, although she had lost all strength and could not stand, she rose, and taken by surprise by a visitor, she was found kneeling with her hands beneath her knees, reciting her usual 3 Hail Mary’s for purity. Thus, even extreme illness did not dampen her desire for holy purity.<br /><br /><strong><em>“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God”</em></strong> (Matthew 5:8).<br /><br /><em><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">~St Gemma Galgani, pray for us!</span></strong></em><br /><br /><strong>Click here for <a href="http://www.stgemmagalgani.com/2009/04/st-gemmas-heroic-chastity-and-purity.html">more examples of St Gemma's desire for purity of heart</a></strong> </div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div id='pfButton'><link href="//cdn.printfriendly.com/printfriendly.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"><script src="//cdn.printfriendly.com/printfriendly.js" type="text/javascript"></script><a href='http://www.printfriendly.com' id='printfriendly' onclick='window.print(); return false;' title='Print an optimized version of this blog post or generate a PDF'><img alt="Print" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tL2wW6tn-oKcr1JrURSKZvKaCjCFXUuG4jLd466E4lbT02R4ckwRXZCUIq2CVDkeHPMr4STia9PJMc9X5WKpnwm6cMtGmB5y1a1j-pnV75ulSV=s0-d" style="border:none;"></a></div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'><span class='post-comment-link'> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-action'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/email-post/5055912381407477995/4316488986703415427' title='Email Post'> <img alt="" class="icon-action" height="13" src="//www.blogger.com/img/icon18_email.gif" width="18"> </a> </span> <span class='item-control blog-admin pid-963658198'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=5055912381407477995&postID=4316488986703415427&from=pencil' title='Edit Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='18' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_edit_allbkg.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'></div> <div class='post-share-buttons'> <a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-email' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5055912381407477995&postID=4316488986703415427&target=email' target='_blank' title='Email This'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Email This</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-blog' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5055912381407477995&postID=4316488986703415427&target=blog' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=270,width=475"); return false;' target='_blank' title='BlogThis!'><span class='share-button-link-text'>BlogThis!</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-twitter' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5055912381407477995&postID=4316488986703415427&target=twitter' target='_blank' title='Share to X'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to X</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-facebook' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5055912381407477995&postID=4316488986703415427&target=facebook' onclick='window.open(this.href, "_blank", "height=430,width=640"); return false;' target='_blank' title='Share to Facebook'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Facebook</span></a><a class='goog-inline-block share-button sb-pinterest' href='https://www.blogger.com/share-post.g?blogID=5055912381407477995&postID=4316488986703415427&target=pinterest' target='_blank' title='Share to Pinterest'><span class='share-button-link-text'>Share to Pinterest</span></a> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'><span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='comments' id='comments'> <a name='comments'></a> <h4>4 comments:</h4> <div id='Blog1_comments-block-wrapper'> <dl class='avatar-comment-indent' id='comments-block'> <dt class='comment-author ' id='c3987180225878505130'> <a name='c3987180225878505130'></a> <div class="avatar-image-container avatar-stock"><span dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/profile/02183712830724383078" target="" rel="nofollow" onclick="" class="avatar-hovercard" id="av-3987180225878505130-02183712830724383078"><img src="//www.blogger.com/img/blogger_logo_round_35.png" width="35" height="35" alt="" title="Unknown"> </a></span></div> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/02183712830724383078' rel='nofollow'>Unknown</a> said... </dt> <dd class='comment-body' id='Blog1_cmt-3987180225878505130'> <p> Hello, this has been a great devotion to pick up!
