Meet St. Gianna Molla - the patron saint of mothers & preborn babies.
She was a devoted Catholic wife, mother, & pediatrician in Italy.
While pregnant with her 4th child, she was diagnosed with a fibroma.
Doctors suggested abortion, but she refused.
Before having the fibroma removed, she made her wishes clear:
“This time it will be a difficult delivery, and they may have to save one or the other — I want them to save my baby.”
She underwent a C-section to deliver her baby girl, but developed sepsis from the procedure and died a week later.
Her selfless love is what the world needs more of.
St. Gianna pray for us!

Russia started the war. Russia escalated the fighting. Russia is responsible for more than 100,000 Ukrainian deaths. Russia killed 34 Ukrainian civilians in Sumy on Palm Sunday.
And Trump responds once again by blaming Zelensky.
A continuing national embarrassment.
The War between Russia and Ukraine is Biden's war, not mine. I just got here, and for four years during my term, had no problem in preventing it from happening. President Putin, and everyone else, respected your President! I HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS WAR, BUT AM WORKING DILIGENTLY TO GET THE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION TO STOP. If the 2020 Presidential Election was not RIGGED, and it was, in so many ways, that horrible War would never have happened. President Zelenskyy and Crooked Joe Biden did an absolutely horrible job in allowing this travesty to begin. There were so many ways of preventing it from ever starting. But that is the past. Now we have to get it to STOP, AND FAST. SO SAD!
Absolutely immoral!
Forget the immorality of this, and it is immoral. The idea that we can’t condemn a Russian war crime because it will make the Russians mad at the negotiating table is solid evidence that we are being played by the Russians at the negotiating table. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Thank you @ArchbishopSample
On March 10, 2025, Oregon Governor Kotek declared “Abortion Provider Appreciation Day.”
In response, I invite you to read my Pastoral Teaching on the Sanctity of Life.

There is no statesmen I admire more than President #Zelensky. Wisdom, cold blood, service of his people and, last but not least, heroism: he has it all. For this, he deserves no less than respect, unconditional friendship - and victory.

HERSH GOLDBERG INSPIRED HIM IN CAPTIVITY
An emaciated Eli Sharabi recently returned from Hamas captivity, hardly surviving the horrors and the torture.
Eli said that one of the things that kept him alive, was Hersh Goldberg Polin telling him in their early days of captivity: "whoever has a WHY will be able to tolerate any HOW".
Hersh's purpose and inspiration helped Eli endure Auschwitz-like conditions that Hamas kept him in while in Gaza.
Hersh, we will forever remember you.

Shiri, Ariel and baby Kfir were laid to rest today in Israel.
We're sorry we couldn't save you.
We vow to never forget you.

Omer Neutra, a 21-year-old American from New York, was an athlete and team captain of his high school’s sports teams.
He was murdered by Palestinians on October 7th, and his body has been held for nearly 500 days. Demand its return so his family can give him a proper burial.

Ori Danino filled his car with people and saved them from Hamas on October 7. He could have got away but went back for Maya and Itai Regev. He rescued them and Omer Shem Tov but they were all kidnapped. Ori was murdered in captivity. The others are all released now. Ori saved them. His mother Einav said:
"Every kidnapped person who returns, my heart aches and I imagine Ori running to me.”
We wish that too Einav. With all our hearts.

No words
💔 Statement from Yarden Bibas:
During these painful and difficult days, there are no words to describe the level of gratitude that we feel towards all of you. The warm embrace, the love and the strength that you have sent us from all over Israel and the world strength us and accompany us during these moments of crisis.
We sense the open hearts, the enormous embrace, your pain alongside our pain – which we don’t take for granted.
This Wednesday we will accompany Shiri, Kfir and Ariel on their final journey. We are aware that many of you want to be there, to pay your respects, to express your love and to say your goodbyes together with us.
However, in order to enable the family to say their goodbyes in the most personal and intimate way, and due to space limitations, the funeral ceremony itself will only be for members of the family and close friends.
Nonetheless, it is important for us to make it possible for whoever wishes to pay their respects and be a part of this moment to do so. Therefore, the route of the funeral procession will be published in order to enable anyone that wishes to do so to accompany our loved ones on their final journey. In addition, we are working to livestream the eulogies ceremony and will provide further details shortly.
We thank you all from the bottom of our hearts – for the love, for the embrace, for the tears that we have all shed. We don’t have sufficient words to express our appreciation for all that you have given us at this time.
Please respect our choice to say our goodbyes during these final moments in the way that is right for us. The knowledge that you are with us, that your hearts are beating alongside ours, strengthens us with every breath.
With great love and gratitude.
