Letters to Saints

“I will spend my heaven doing good on earth” – words of Saint Thérèse of the Child Jesus, also recorded in the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 956). The little Doctor of the Church was guided by wisdom and led along right paths (cf. Wisdom 7:15), a road that runs along timeless lines, reaches into our worlds and moves our boundaries towards Heaven.

Alongside quoting Saint Thérèse, the Catechism reminds us that “It is not merely by the title of example that we cherish the memory of those in heaven, but still more in order that the union of the whole Church may be strengthened in the Spirit by the practice of fraternal charity. For just as Christian communion among wayfarers brings us closer to Christ, so our companionship with the saints joins us to Christ, from whom as from its fountain and head issues every grace, and the very life of the people of God.” (CCC 957)

The Lord gives many graces through the communion of saints. We turn to their intercession on our pilgrimages.

But our pilgrimages begin within, in the heart that strengthens our steps for the road.

For the sake of weak steps and of those who are not able to set out on a pilgrimage, through Letters to Saints we offer you the chance to have us carry your prayers for intercession to the shrines we visit.

Your prayers, received in digital form, we carry in written form, and we offer a Mass intention so that the Lord, according to His will, may grant graces through the intercession of His heavenly host.

Saint Gemma Galgani

U svetištu svete Gemme Galgani, u gradu Lucci, iznad oltara i njezina groba nalazi se predivna slika. Na toj slici u središtu prikazana je sveta Gemma koja šalje molitve anđelu čuvaru, a on ih prenosi Kristu na križu.

The painting above the altar and tomb of Saint Gemma in Lucca: Saint Gemma kneels and gives her prayers to her guardian angel, who carries them to Christ on the cross. A white letter lies on the floor below Gemma.
Tomb of St. Gemma, Shrine in Lucca

Prikaz je to „slanja” molitvi i nakana vjernika. Preciznijim gledanjem uočit ćete bijelo pismo ispod Gemme.

Pismo je to tvoje, dragi vjerniče, koje želiš po Gemmi poslati Kristu. Pismo je to koje skrivene boli tvoga križa sjedinjuje s Njegovim križem preko svete misne žrtve.

Gemma je za života bila sjedinjena s takvom žrtvom. Mnogo je patila, prikazujući svoje boli za spasenje duša.

Naposljetku je dobila i Kristove rane – stigme na svome tijelu.

U zajedništvu sa svetom Gemmom imate mogućnost predati Gospodinu svoje pismo – riječi svojih boli, tjeskoba, nevolja, želja i svih nakana.

Vaše pismo nosimo u ovome mjesecu na grob svete Gemme i prikazujemo misnu nakanu.

We will send a confirmation that we received your letter to this address.
