Most compassionate virgin, St. Gemma Galgani,
during your short life on Earth, you gave
a most beautiful example of angelic innocence
and seraphic 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 thy merits and intercession,
the special favor which we now fervently implore.
