“A few days before the child was due, although trusting as always in Providence, she was ready to give her life in order to save that of her child: “if you must decide between me and the child, do not hesitate: choose the child – I insist on it. Save the baby”.

Please pray for me to Saint Gianna, that my husband and I will be able to get pregant and have a healthy child. We are still very young and have been trying for a year now with no luck. We really want a family. So please pray for us! Thank you:)
