Holy Hour with Gemma Galgani

"Fiat. Let it be." How simple it is to write. Having the will to carry it out takes a great deal of courage. But fulfilling your "fiat" requires absolute trust in the Heavenly Father.

Jesus underwent the ultimate sacrifice, which began with mortal agony in the Garden of Gethsemane. In deep sorrow, he looked for someone to comfort him.

"Friend of my Heart" is the intimate address Jesus uses to invite you to spend an hour in his presence and contemplate the battle between love and justice in a devotion practised by Saint Gemma Galgani.

At the age of 21, she received the stigmata on her hands, feet, and heart, which caused her great pain. In addition to these, she bore all of Jesus’s agony – every Thursday afternoon until three o'clock on Friday afternoon. The whole week she looked forward to the time when she could suffer with Jesus. Her "fiat" was joyful.

And what about you? Are you willing to sacrifice yourself for Jesus?
