How can we renounce all of our possessions? We need them to live. However, what we must renounce is the belief that they belong to us. Everything that we have belongs to God alone. All of our resources are entrusted to us not only for our own use, but also so that we can help others.

  • Saint Gianna Beretta Molla
    Saint Gianna Beretta Molla Another Italian that we can look up to is St Gianna Beretta Molla. She was born in the 1920’s. She went to school and studied to be a medical doctor and a surgeon. She joined the Saint Vincent de Paul Society when she was in university. She focused on helping mothers, babies, the elderly and the poor. She married in 1955 and gave birth to 4 children in the mid 1950’s. During her last pregnancy it was discovered that she had a tumor in her uterus. One of the options was to have the tumor removed. The doctors however advised that it would be best to abort the child. She decided to have the tumor removed. This was the only option to save the unborn child, but the risk of pregnancy related complications was high. When she went into labour, it was found she needed to deliver her child by caesarean section. She gave birth to a baby girl. Later Gianna developed peritonitis, an infection from the surgery and died 7 days after the child was born. Gianna never considered the possibility of aborting her child. She also repeatedly made it clear that if only one life could be saved, it should be the baby’s life. You could say she was a contemporary and ordinary woman. She liked fashionable clothes and valued education. She enjoyed the arts. Her husband said that Gianna’s life “was a nonstop search for the will of God for every decision and for every work, with prayer and meditation, Holy Mass, and the Eucharist.

  • St. Gianna Beretta Molla Heroic Mother and Doctor the Canonization of Saint Gianna Is the first of Its Kind
    St. Gianna Beretta Molla Heroic mother and doctor The canonization of Saint Gianna is the first of its kind. Many mothers have been beatified for their heroic virtues, but they entered religious life after becoming widowed. In St. Gianna’s case, the very condition of her being a spouse and mother is exalted and highlighted. St. Gianna is the first canonized woman physician: a professional who was also a “working mom”. Gianna, born on October 4, 1922, was the tenth of thirteen children born to Maria and Albert Beretta (five of whom died at an early age). They made sure that each of their children studied a profession, so that they would serve the community and be living examples of Christian life: • Two, including Gianna, became doctors • One was a civil engineer • Two became priests and one a Sister • Two were missionaries, one to Brazil and one to India Her parents considered the education of their children, the molding of their souls, as a divine undertaking. Gianna had just graduated from high school and considered becoming a medical missionary in Brazil when her parents died. While waiting for her missionary calling, she began studying medicine in Milan. It was often impossible to attend classes because of the constant wartime bombing. Everything was in a state of confusion, but Gianna endured the tragedy of war with her deep faith in God. If she could not perform heroic deeds as the soldiers did, she would strive to do whatever task was set before her as well as she could. When weary, she went to church.

    Daily Prayer during the weeks of the Novena - Make the Sign of the Cross - Recall the Grace being prayed for this week - Pause for a moment of quiet reflection (5 minutes) - Pray the Prayer to St Gianna: O God our Father, we praise you and bless you because in St. Gianna Beretta Molla, you have given to us a woman who witnessed to the Gospel, as a young person, a wife, a mother and a doctor. We thank you because through the gift of her life, we learn to accept and honour every human being. You, Lord Jesus, were for her a privileged reference. She was able to know you in the beauty of nature. As she questioned her choice of life, she always sought you and how to serve you best. Through her married love she became a sign of your love for the Church and for humanity. Like you, the Good Samaritan, she stopped at the side of every sick person, small and weak. Following your example, she gave herself entirely out of love, generating new life. The Novena Mass Holy Spirit, source of every perfection, grant also to us wisdom, of Saint Gianna Beretta Molla intelligence and courage so that through the example of St. Gianna’s personal, family and professional life, and through her at intercession, we too, are able to place ourselves at the service of every person and grow in love and holiness.
