Submit your intentions 9 Holy Masses, April 20-28

Dear Friend, 

Today, we begin our meditation and prayers to Our Lady and St. Gianna Molla.

As a lay person, St. Gianna exemplified holiness at every level inside her triple vocation as wife, mother and doctor.  In each of those seemingly ordinary roles, she exercised virtue to a heroic degree. Because of this, St. Gianna is often called the “saint of the ordinary.”  Even her husband, Pietro Molla affectionately said of her when he discovered his wife’s cause for canonization was opened, “Look, I know I married a fantastic woman.  But she was so normal!”

St. Gianna had such an unwavering trust in the Blessed Virgin Mary, in every circumstance of her life. Therefore, during these enriching nine days, we will also reflect on Our Lady of Good Counsel – Feast Day, April 26 and Our Lady of Montserrat – Feast Day, April 27. It was no coincidence that two of Our Lady’s feast days fell during the last two days of St. Gianna’s final agony, before her death on April 28, 1962.

Here are the Day One prayers. If you haven’t had a chance to submit your intentions or would like to update them, for the Nine Holy Masses, from April 20-28, please do so now. 

Together, let us storm heaven to ask Our Lady and St. Gianna to intercede for all our needs, and most especially for Cardinal Burke and his continued good health.

In the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
