Podcast of the Day: St. Gemma Galgani: The suffering mystic

On this episode of the Christian Mysticism Podcast, Dr. Carlos Eire tells us about St. Gemma Galgani, a “Daughter of the Passion” who lived a short life of intense veneration and imitation of Christ’s passion despite her own physical and emotional pain. She received the gift of the stigmata at the age of 21 and experienced mystical experiences with Christ, the Virgin Mary, and her guardian angel.
