St. Gianna Molla (Feast Day is April 28)
She was pediatric physician, a wife, a mother and a saint! Born near Milan, Italy in 1922, Gianna was married in 1955 to Pietro Molla and in the next four years she and Pietro had 3 children. The next two pregnancies ended in miscarriages. Early in her final pregnancy, doctors discovered that Gianna had tumor in her uterus. She allowed the surgeons to remove the tumor but not to perform the complete hysterectomy that they recommended, which would kill the baby. Gianna told her husband if the decision comes down to either saving her or the baby, she said to save the baby. Seven months later April 21, 1962, Gianna gave birth to Gianna Emanuela. Post-birth complications resulted in an infection for the mother and on Easter Saturday, April 28, 1962, Gianna Molla died at home.

Thoughts:
Love and sacrifice are closely linked, like the sun and the light. We cannot love without suffering, and we cannot suffer without love.
St. Gianna
Prayer:
Jesus, I promise You to submit myself to all that You permit to befall me, make me only know Your will. My most sweet Jesus, infinitely merciful God, most tender Father of souls, and in a particular way of the most weak, most miserable, most infirm which You carry with special tenderness between Your divine arms I come to You to ask You, through the love and merits of Your Sacred heart, the grace to comprehend and to do always Your Holy will, the grace to confide in You, the grace to rest securely through time and eternity in Your loving divine arms.
