Saint gemma galgani biography of albert einstein
•
Along with the better-known St. Therese of Lisieux (The Little Flower), there were three extraordinary women mystics from the Roman Catholic tradition who expressed an intense, living relationship with Jesus Christ. Two were her contemporaries — Gemma Galgani and Elizabeth of the Trinity — while the third lived slightly later, Caryll Houslander. From a number of examples of passionate Catholic mystical fervor reported in the last century (such as Gabrielle Bossis, Therese Neumann, Bernadette of Lourdes, Maria Bolognesi, Alexandrina da Costa, Padre Pio, and Mariam Baouardy, just to name a few), Gemma, Elizabeth, and Caryll left behind a sufficient enough body of writings and quotes to warrant an inclusion in this series on the writings of the Western Mystics.
Gemma Galgani
Maria Gemma Umberta Pia Galgani (or Gemma Galgani as she became commonly known) (March 12, 1878 – April 11, 1903) was an Italian mystic, venerated as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church since 1940. She has been called the “Daughter of Passion” because of her profound imitation of the Passion of Christ.
Gemma Galgani was born on March 12, 1878, in the hamlet of Borgo Nuovo in the provincial town of Capannori. Gemma was the fifth of eight children; her father, Enrico Galgani, w

“Solitude is painful when one is young but delightful when one is mature.” Albert Einstein
What is solitude? Is it vanishing from daily life? Sometimes. Can solitude happen in the midst of daily life with all its distractions? Sometimes. Can solitude be shared with others? Sometimes. The longer I live, the more I yearn for this thing called solitude.
Solitude is about being with myself – alone. Solitude gives me a sense of quietness and peace, a feeling of stillness and joy in my heart. It is from this place of listening in silence that I start to recognise the voice of God. The more I listen, the more I trust that voice. I begin to know myself in the process. I am inspired to action.
I experience solitude when I am all alone in my home. No radio, television, music or computer – simply the silence of being. It is delicious. The mystics of each spiritual tradition have written about this way of tapping into God’s silence. I think that listening begins here, in the stillness of my heart.
Sometimes solitude comes to me when I am driving. There is that moment of being fully present to life – seeing the wonder of humanity or nature or God’s presence in the world and in my life. Many times, solitude is in the shared silence with a close friend, spouse or family m
