No Greater Love…
Maria Christina Cella Mocellin, a young Italian mother committed deeply to God, was pregnant with her third child when it was discovered that an earlier cancer had returned.
She had surgery to remove a tumor in her leg but refused the chemotherapy because the treatments would threaten her
unborn baby’s life. By the time a healthy Ricardo was born in July 1994 the cancer had spread to her lungs. She died in
October, 1995. But her story and that of Ricardo are memorialized in a letter she wrote to him a month before she
died (excerpts follow).
“Dear Ricardo, you need to know that you are not in the world by chance.” “The Lord wanted your birth despite all the
problems there were…when we found out about you, we loved you and wanted you with all our heart.” “It was that
evening, in the car on the way back from the hospital, that you moved for the first time. It seemed as if you were saying, ‘Thank you mamma for loving me!’ And how could we not
love you?” she added. “You are precious, and when I look at you and see you so beautiful, lively, friendly, I think that there
is no suffering in the world that is not worth bearing for a child.”
Maria Christina’s devotion and sacrifice obviously counters the
anti-life culture swirling in today’s world. In August, the Church declared her a Venerable Servant of God. (Sources: “A
New Pro-Life Saint? This Italian Mother Sacrificed…, Katie Yoder, Cath. News Agency; 9/20/21. And Others.

Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of
Unborn Children
Pope Francis has said that respect for life is not just about the unborn child in the womb, but also about the least of our brothers and sisters. Yes, it is even upon the undocumented resident alien who has no voice but ours. As followers of Jesus Christ, we are all called to protect the voiceless. Let us pray… Good and gracious God, you blew into our nostrils the breath of life. You are the One to whom we owe our very existence. Give us the courage to take that unpopular position of protecting those who have no voice, the unborn child in the womb to the person taking his or her last breath. The life you have given us is a gift beyond measure. Embolden us to speak the truth about protecting the child, the elderly, and the one without a voice in the public square. With thankful hearts, we ask all this of the One God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.
