Tomorrow, I will go with the Molla family to pray at the tomb of their mother, Saint Gianna Molla. 

It is a unique experience to be before the tomb praying to Saint Gianna and the children are praying to “Saint Mom.”

Knowing that Saint Gianna is such a powerful intercessor, if you haven’t had a chance to submit your intentions, please do so now by clicking the red rectangular box with the white letters.

I will pray for them, at Saint Gianna’s tomb, together with her family.

Recite this beautiful prayer, lovingly composed by our Shepherd, Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke and invoke her intercession:

Saint Gianna, heroically Christlike wife, mother and physician, I ask the help of your prayers, as I strive to follow your holy example in my physical and spiritual trials.

Help me, by your prayers, to recognize the suffering of the Cross as the way to pure and selfless love of God and my neighbor. May your practice of medicine with priestly care of both body and soul inspire physicians to see the Face of the suffering Christ in their patients.

May your loving acceptance of illness and death help patients to know and do God's will in all things, uniting their sufferings to the Passion and Death of Christ for the salvation of the world.

Saint Gianna, pray for us always that we may have a heart, meek and courageous, like the Heart of Jesus, in Whom we find our healing and strength.

We ask this through Christ Our Lord. AMEN.

I look forward to sharing more about this profound pilgrimage upon my return.

Yours in the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
