Eleven Letters to St Gemma from Her Spiritual Director

About the book: St Gemma Galgani, the 20th-century Italian mystic and stigmatic, wrote over 130 letters to her Spiritual Director, Father Germano. The letters have long been available in Italian, French and Spanish, with sets of them more recently published in English. 

Less attention has been given to Father Germano's letters to Gemma.

This short collection offers a glimpse into the other half of a fascinating dialogue, shedding light on how Gemma and Father Germano navigated the extraordinary graces and supernatural events occurring daily in the life of St Gemma.

Now in English, these eleven letters are those Fr Germano selected for inclusion in his book, Lettere ed Estasi Della Serva Di Dio Gemma Galgani (Letters and Ecstasies of the Servant of God Gemma Galgani), published in 1917.

Eleven Letters to St Gemma from Her Spiritual Director (2023) is translated from the Italian by Elizabeth Flint.
