"as such she and the decision to canonize her have come under attack in the media."

So now the media gets to decide who is canonized and who isn't? Imagine the uproar if we were to complain about the "canonization" of Martin Luther King by the media.

My neighbor, who was 29, found out she had breast cancer when she was 4 months pregnant. She refused treatment because it would harm her child and didn't start chemo until the day her daughter was born. She died exactly one year later, which was one year ago today.

My deepest and sincerest sympathies for your loss. I will remember her and her child in my prayers. It precisely because of these brave women who place their children's welfare before their own, that Gianna Molla's road to sainthood was accelerated.

May you draw comfort from knowing that your friend is in the warm embrace of our Lord.

This lady sounds like another saint!

Thinking about this is giving me chills. It's so heartening to know that there are such great people.
