The American mystic Marie "Little Rose" Ferron and her devotion to Saint Gemma
One of St Gemma’s many devotees was the American mystic and stigmatic Marie Rose Ferron(1902-1936) who lived in Woonsocket, Rhode Island.

A short biography of the life of Marie Rose Ferron to accompany these photos.
Marie Rose Ferron, better known as Little Rose, lived a life of love and reparation as one of Our Lord's victim souls. Her vocation was one of suffering and her mission was that of reparation - "to fill up those things that are lacking of the sufferings of Christ ... for His Body which is the Church."(Col. 1 :24)
Little Rose was born St. Germain de Grantham, Quebec in 1902 to a large, working-class family. When she was four years old, her family immigrated to Fall River, Massachusetts. In her mid-teens, Rose was stricken with a mysterious illness which confined her to bed; she accepted suffering as a vocation. In 1925, the family moved to Woonsocket, Rhode Island, where Rose spent the remainder of her life.
