Saint Juan Diego Part II

“Whatever God wants” Today, we bring you the story of an ordinary mother who had a zealous love for life and the souls she encountered. Saint Gianna lived a simple life as a wife, mother and doctor and found Christ by making every moment holy. Many remember Gianna for her heroism in the final days of her life, but the reality is that she lived a life of heroic love the entirety of her life. That is what made her a saint, and what makes this story the type of adventure that can only be found in the saints! Come listen to her story like never before!Parental Guidance: True to the story, Saint Gianna died at the age of 39 after giving birth to her fourth child.
