St. Gianna Beretta Molla
This morning while dropping my youngest off at Preschool I saw someone I recognized from Church. I'm so glad I decided to say hello (even though I'm wearing a Halloween shirt that says "Witchy" and haven't showered yet :s)
The reason I recognized her is that she is the face of Respect Life at our parish. How timely! I've actually been finding myself full of questions as I write my daughter's story. I've been surprised at how much I don't know about the Church's teachings regarding abortion and how I wanted to understand it better so I may articulate it better. We only spoke for a few minutes, but she introduced me to a new saint.
St. Gianna was canonized just two months after the birth of my daughter. I'm so thrilled to have been introduced to this new friend in Heaven. I'm looking forward to getting to know this new friend in our parish, too!

It was great to meet you today too! (and I liked your shirt by the way!) Your story is inspiring and touching and I'm sure could help a lot of people in the same position. Thanks for sharing and I hope to see you again soon! :)
