The maddest obsession

bound by hatred

Gianna gostava de esquiar, escalar montanhas, tocar piano, pintar e também sabia tricotar. Seu amor não apenas por estar do lado de fora, mas por criar belas obras de arte pelas quais ela louvou a Deus. Que possamos também usar nossos dons e talentos que o Senhor nos deu para louvá-lo e agradecê-lo.

Saint Gianna Beretta Molla (October 4, 1922 – April 28, 1962) was an Italian pediatrician, wife and mother who is best known for refusing both an abortion and a hysterectomy when she was pregnant with her fourth child, despite knowing that continuing with the pregnancy could result in her death. She was canonized in 2004.

I had never heard of Saint Gianna Molla before September 2007. This was the month my friend Erika gave birth to her first daughter, Gianna Rose. Erika and her husband, Dan, decided to name their daughter Gianna after the great modern saint - Saint Gianna Beretta Molla. A few days after giving birth, Erika explained…

St. Gianna Beretta Molla was a pediatrician, wife, and mom to four children. She is the patron saint of mothers, physicians and unborn children.
