5. Her parents moved the family to Lucca to increase educational opportunities available to their children.

Due to the difficulty of raising a child without her mother, young Gemma was placed in a private nursery school run by Elena and Ersilia Vallini

6. Several members of the Galgani family died during this period. Their firstborn child, Carlo, and Gemma's little sister Giulia died at an early age. On 17 September 1885, Aurelia Galgani died from tuberculosis, which she had suffered from for five years, and Gemma's beloved brother Gino died from the same disease while studying for the priesthood

9. FIRST COMMUNION RESOLUTIONS Before leaving the convent I made certain resolutions regarding the conduct of my life:   § 1. I will receive Confession and Communion each time as though it were my last.   § 2. I will visit Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament often, especially when I am afflicted.   § 3. I will prepare myself for every feast of our Blessed Mother by some mortification, and every evening I will ask my heavenly Mother’s blessing.   § 4. I want to remain always in the presence of God.   § 5. Every time the clock strikes I will repeat three times : My Jesus, mercy

18. Gemma returned home and almost immediately became very ill with meningitis. Throughout this illness, her one regret was the trouble she caused her relatives who took care of her. Feeling herself tempted by the devil, Gemma prayed for help to the Venerable Passionist, Gabriel Possenti. Through his intercession, Gemma was miraculously cured Saint Gabriel

19. Gemma wished to become a nun, but her poor health prevented her from being accepted. She offered this disappointment to God as a sacrifice

20. Gemma dialogued with her guardian angel as though with her conscience

22. Her spiritual director, Germano Ruoppolo, wrote in her biography that Galgani began to manifest the stigmata on 8 June 1899, at the age of 21. She stated that she had spoken with her guardian angel, Jesus, the Virgin Mary, and other saints especially Gabriel of Our Lady of Sorrows

23. “I felt an inward sorrow for my sins, but so intense that I have never felt the like again ... My will made me detest them all, and promise willingly to suffer everything as expiation for them. Then the thoughts crowded thickly within me, and they were thoughts of sorrow, love, fear, hope and comfort”

24. In a rapture, Gemma saw her guardian angel in the company of the Blessed Virgin Mary: The Blessed Virgin Mary opened her mantle and covered me with it.

25. At that very moment, Jesus appeared with his wounds all open; blood was not flowing from them, but flames of fire which in one moment came and touched my hands, feet and heart
