Santa Gemma
Thiago Ramos
Saint Gemma
In Lucca, a flower bloomed
In the garden of pain
Of Jesus, Our Lord
Who cultivated it on the cross
Suffering blossomed
Into such sublime love
Saint Gemma, a precious jewel
She gave herself to her Spouse
Saint Gemma
Discovered the path
Through wounds and thorns
Is the sweetest one to tread
Saint Gemma
Through the pain of the Passion
She desired in her heart
To make amends to Jesus
She embraced the cross
With love and fervor
Following the example of the Savior
Through suffering, she triumphed
Her heart was set ablaze
With embers of love
For the Master, divine Author
Of the jewel He shaped and refined
