Columban Daily Prayer

Most compassionate virgin, St. Gemma Galgani,
during your short life on earth,
you gave a most beautiful example
of angelic innocence and love
and was found worthy to bear in your 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 your merits and intercession,
the special favor which we now fervently implore.
