Pro-Life Center

I know I have spoken about this place before, but I had to share this. My envy over flows when I read about The Gianna Center. I have notified the two ladies that started the center. I want to pick their brains apart, and find out how they got the ball rolling with such an amazing project.

The Gianna Center is part of the St. Vincent Hospital in Manhattan. Can't you just imagine it now: A pro-life center for women's health care needs somewhere in-between St. Thomas and The Dominican Campus? A heavenly thought, isn't it?

I believe this can happen. With prayer and hard work, I know it can happen! Let us implore the help of good St. Gianna on our behalf.

In the mean time, keep being a light to your secular doctors. Help them to see the truth in what we believe to be the facts. To see the dignity of each woman. To see the dignity of each unborn child.

St. Gianna, pray for us.

Prayer

God, our Father,

we praise You and we bless You

because in Saint Gianna Beretta Molla

You have given and made Known to us

a woman who witnessed the Gospel

as a young person and bride,

as a mother and doctor.

We thank You because,

through the gift of her life,

we learn to accept and honor every human being.

Lord Jesus,

You were for her a privileged reference.

She was able to see You in the beauty of nature.

As she questioned her choice of life,

she was searching for You

and for the best way to serve You.

Through her married love, she became a sign

of your love for the Church

and for all men and women.

Like You, Good Samaritan,

she stopped at the side of every sick person,

of the small and the weak.

Following your example,

she lovingly offered up her life,

while giving new life.

Holy Spirit, source of all perfection,

give also to us wisdom, intelligence and courage so that,

following Saint Gianna's example

and through her intercession,

we may serve every person

in our personal, family and professional life,

and thus grow in love and holiness.

Amen.

In Him,

Kim
