* A Triduum is a Latin term meaning a three day period of prayer

Triduum in honor of St. Gemma to obtain a special favor

Day 1

Most compassionate virgin, St. Gemma, during thy short life on earth, thou didst give a most beautiful example of angelic innocence and seraphic love and wast found worthy to bear in thy flesh the marks of our Lord's Passion, have pity on us who are so much in need of God's Mercy and obtain for us through thy merits and intercession, the special favor we fervently implore.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be.

V. Pray for us, St. Gemma. R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us Pray
O God, Who didst fashion the holy virgin, Gemma, into a likeness of Thy Crucified Son, grant us through her intercession, that as sharers in the sufferings of Christ, we may deserve to become partakers of His Glory, Who with Thee liveth and reigneth in the unity of the Holy Spirit world without end. Amen.

Day 2

O worthy Spouse of the Lamb of God, Who feeds among lilies, thou didst ever preserve the innocence and splendor of virginity, giving to the world a bright example of the most exalted virtues, look down with pity from thy high place in heaven upon us who confide in thee and implore for us the favor we so ardently desire.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be.

V. Pray for us, St. Gemma. R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us Pray
O God, Who didst fashion...
(as above)

Day 3

O amiable virgin, St. Gemma, worthy of all admiration, during thy life in this world thou didst become in the eyes of God a most precious jewel, resplendent with every virtue, look down with kindness on us who appeal to thee in the confident hope of receiving this favor through thy loving intercession.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be.

V. Pray for us, St. Gemma. R. That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Triduum in honor of St. Gemma: For the sick and the infirm

Day 1

O virgin-victim, St. Gemma, thy life was consumed in the sweet flame of love for God and thy neighbor; thou didst suffer in thy own frail body and sensitive heart racking pains and bitter bereavements. Have pity on all who labor under the cross of bodily suffering, on all who grieve over their loved ones, in illness. Graciously obtain healing for our sick and turn our sorrow into joyful gratitude to thee in whom we place our trust.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be.

Day 2

O tender and generous St. Gemma, thy heart was so deeply moved by the miseries of this mortal life that the poor, the sick and the sinner found in thee sympathy and generosity and they trusted in the efficacy of thy prayers. We also raise confident eyes to thee amidst the trials, the maladies, the temptations of life. Plead for us before the throne of God for all our spiritual and temporal needs especially for the restoration to health of those near and dear to us.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be.

Day 3

O heroic lover of Jesus Crucified, thy life was one prolonged penance, a perpetual and burning prayer, spent at the foot of the Cross with our Sorrowful Mother. Now in heaven, enjoying the fruit of thy holy life, obtain mercy and consolation for sinful and suffering mankind. Offer thy penances and prayers to Jesus and Mary and send comfort to the sorrowing, hope to the despairing, health to the sick. Remember our loved ones on beds of pain; intercede for them that, regaining health, they may serve our loving Saviour with renewed fervor and fidelity.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be.

Prayer in Thanksgiving for Favor Received

O humble virgin, St. Gemma, to what power God has exalted thee! Thou art invoked by those who suffer the pains and sorrows of this vale of tears. And miracles and graces are daily obtained by imploring thy name, as we have experienced. Blessed be our merciful God for granting thee such power in our behalf! Grateful for thy loving kindness we resolve to imitate thy virtues that we may, one day, join thee in Paradise and unite with thee in the eternal hymn of thanksgiving.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be.
