An interview with St Gemma Galgani on EWTN's new program series "Saints Alive!" and other website news

EWTN has just begun a new series in September entitled "Saints Alive!". Each episode features a specific Saint, and through the "magic" of television the Saint comes from heaven and answers a series of questions spanning a wide variety of current topics affecting Christians in the world today.

The "Saints Alive!" website offers this description of the series:

"Saints Alive!" features 10 of the great saints of history who return from heaven to be interviewed and questioned on some of the most important issues of our age."

Of special interest to readers of this website is that St Gemma has been chosen as one of the ten special Saints for this series. The St. Gemma episode will be aired on EWTN on the following dates:

(Note, all times are Eastern time) Sun. October 23, 2011 at 10:30AM, Mon. October 24, 2011 at 6:00PM, Tue October 25, 2011 at 4:00AM, Wed October 26, 2011 at 10:00PM and Sat, October 29, 2011 at 4:30PM.

-----------------------------------

In other news this website has surpassed 900,000 visitor page loads and is averaging close to 800 page visits per day, thanks be to God. At the current rate, the website should reach one million page visits in the early part of the New Year. It is a joy to receive the letters and emails from the many people who are discovering and coming to know the "Gem of Christ." Countless souls have been completely enraptured and deeply touched by this simple, little Saint who loved Jesus with all her heart!

Like all the Saints, Gemma leads us ever closer to Jesus, her beloved Spouse, but she does so in her most unique and attractive way--to know Gemma is to love her! And following her loving and holy example she teaches us to try to love Jesus with our whole hearts, and to have a true devotion to Mary, our Mother in heaven. Yes, to know Gemma is to love her, and by doing so we endeavor to make her prayers our own, and her love and devotion to Jesus our own. And Gemma continues from her place in heaven captivating souls and leading them to her Jesus!

----------------------------

In closing, the Passionist Nuns at the Monastery-Sanctuary of St Gemma in Lucca offer a large database of documents on St Gemma, including many of her letters, and the letters of her Spiritual Director, her Confessor and many of her spiritual friends and acquaintances, along with her recorded ecstasies and other documents.

Those interested can find the large library of St Gemma documents here. The catch is they are all in Italian! I am hoping that perhaps God will inspire a reader of this website who is knowledgeable in Italian to volunteer to translate some of these documents into english to be published on this website. If anyone feels moved to do so please email me at gdallaire1@gmail.com

-St Gemma, pray for us!

"You love me Jesus, and could I not love You? What wonderful tenderness of a God towards His poor creature! Jesus, when shall I be able to unite myself to You, in order to be no longer seperated from You? Break without delay the chain that unites me to my body, in order that I no longer experience the torment of Your absence.....When will it be, Jesus? Help me, and you shall see that I will finally love You with a love that is sincere, active and very fervent!

I shall remember always your kindness, Oh Jesus. And, this rememberance will stimulate my love.....this Divine flame; I shall keep it always in my heart. Oh Jesus, it is you alone that I wish to love! I no longer belong to myself. I am Yours." -St Gemma Galgani
