I just came across the story of Gianna Jesson. I have rallied people about this issue, but never knew there was a real "miracle" from the evil that is abortion.
I love the name Gianna, and often think that if I would ever be graced with a daughter, this is the name I would most certainly give her, honoring St. Gianna and her own sacrifice for the Right to Life.

Lord of life, we thank You for the heroic witness of Saint Gianna Beretta Molla. You have taught us that there is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for others. Saint Gianna did this, not only as she gave birth to her last child, but also in her everyday life as she died to herself so that she could live wholly for You. What selflessness we see in her! Help us, we pray, that through the intercession of Saint Gianna, our society may regain a sense of the sacredness of all human life. Fill us with her spirit of courage to suffer any struggle rather than deny You and the sanctity of human life. We ask You this through our Lord, Jesus Christ, your son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen
