Today we have more reason than ever to celebrate the Feast Day of this Saint. Our youngest daughter, Gianna Lucia, is a constant reminder to us of this Saint who as wife, doctor, and mother, has given all of us an example of being a living witness to Christ in the modern world.
You can learn more about her here and here. Yesterday, we had the pleasure and privilege of attending a service and benediction dedicated to Saint Gianna at Nativity of Our Lord Parish in Warminster, PA. We had the opportunity to touch the relics of Saint Gianna and take part in the service with many others who attended. This was especially meaningful for my wife who prayed often to St. Gianna asking for her prayers and intercession during our second pregnancy. In the post-Christian world and disposable secular society in which we live, the example of St. Gianna is a beacon to us all.
St. Gianna, Pray for Us.
(To the couple we spoke to yesterday, [sweatshirt ID's occupation], you are in our prayers. We pray that you will be blessed with many children.)
