Gemma de Giorgi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A little girl named Gemma di Giorgi lived in Sicily. She was born without pupils in her eyes on Christmas night in 1939. Competent doctors and specialists declared that nothing could be done about her blindness. But little Gemma’s grandmother, a woman of great faith, took her to Padre Pio for help. Gemma went to Confession to this renowned friar and received from him her first Holy Communion. He touched and blessed each eye. From that day Gemma has been able to see clearly although she still had no pupils. Many eye specialists have since examined her eyes, but the fact remains that she is able to see perfectly without any pupils in her eyes.
