Christian Spirituality St. Gemma Galgani was a mystic and victim soul from Lucca, Italy, who lived from 1878-1903. Her very distinctive spirituality is centered on her burning love for Jesus in the Holy Eucharist and her intense and passionate Marian devotion which is particularly focused on Our Lady as the Coredemptrix suffering uniquely with Jesus at the foot of the Cross. Both of these qualities lead to Gemma’s Eucharistic and Marian self-offering of love which derive from her burning thirst to share in the Passion of Jesus and the Compassion of Mary. Her virtues are ultimately the most remarkable aspect of her spirituality, however; it is especially important to keep in mind throughout this entire examination of her holy spiritual life of union with God that her main emphasis is extremely simple.
