God our Father we praise You and we bless you because in St Gianna Beretta Molla you have given us one who witnessed to the Gospel as a young women, as a wife, as a mother, and as a doctor. We thank you because through the gift of her life we can learn to welcome and honor every human person.
You, Lord Jesus, were for Gianna a splendid example. She learned to recognize
you in the beauty of nature. As she was questioning her choice of vocation she
went in search of you and the best way to serve you. Through her married love
she became a sign of your love for the Church and for humanity. Like you, the
Good Samaritan, she cared for everyone who was sick, small or weak. Following
your example, out of love she gave herself entirely, generating new life.
Holy Spirit, Source of every perfection, give us wisdom, intelligence, and
courage so that, following the example of Saint Gianna and through her
intercession, we may know how to place ourselves at the service of each person
we meet in our personal, family and professional lives, and thus grow in love
and holiness.
Amen.
Feast Day: April 28
