Note 2 Feb 8, 2006 Thank you note :- Thank you Saint Gianna for presenting my prayers to the Blessed Lord and for granting my request. I begged for the little baby I nannied for to be healed of the many infirmities he was suffering. Doctors did not know why he was suffering from intestinal and digestive difficulties but within days of my prayers my mother gave word to me while I was in Italy that Mitchell was perfectly fine. I know that you are the cause of his good health, and I thank you. By: Jenna Marie, Tulsa, Ok

Note 3 Febuary 14, 2006 I wish to thank St Gianna. When pregnant w/ my 5th pregnancy (for my 4th child), my cousin Mary Therese suggested we pray to St Gianna...which we did. Just for a safe pregnancy for us both. I was 40. Well, every single time a test came back \"failed\", I\'d pray for her intercession...we\'d retake the test and I would pass FINE. The baby and mother are fine and baby is almost 1 year old (3/11/05). Thank you, St Gianna...for being \"my other doctor\" in my pregnancy. :-) By: Kelly, Dallas, Texas

Others have if succeeded with frequency after this first miracle and I only have to be thankful,its presence in our life and our home if has become very strong and transformed our lives. My love for it, for Jesus and Maria of Nazareh it has increased to each day more. I ask for to all the people who truily believe to be Gianna Saint a kind saint, miraculous, amiable and heard for God, that one is interested of truth for us in the Land. By: Monica, Rio de Janeiro

Note 10 The beginning of December, 2005 I was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia. I was a healthy, active 52-year-old female and needless to say I was devastated. This is an extremely aggressive type, and I was also unfortunate in that my cytogenetics indicated that I had a specific gene that showed that my leukemia would be very resistant to treatment. I was immediately admitted to the hospital and underwent two rounds of intensive chemotherapy. After 7 weeks in the hospital, many allergic reactions, and a bout with pneumonia, I finally was able to go home. Unfortunately, my prognosis was very poor. I still had 20% leukemia cells in my bone marrow (under 2% is considered good for a stem cell or bone marrow transplant). My options seemed very limited. There were no close bone marrow donor matches for me, plus I was not in remission. Jack and Amy Weber brought Saint Gianna’s gloves over to my house on February 7, 2006. I held the gloves and we talked and prayed for a long time. Jack and Amy explained some of the healings that people experienced after holding St. Gianna’s gloves. I was hopeful, but not sure that I was worthy of a miracle. My pregnant daughter, Jessie, and her son were at my house visiting during this time. Jessie was busy on the phone talking to out of state hospitals trying to gather more info about possible treatment options for me. Finally we were able to get Jessie to sit and pray with us. I held the gloves to Jessie’s back, as she experienced terrible bone density loss after her first pregnancy. It was so severe osteoporosis. Her doctors strongly recommended that she not have any more children. When Jessie became pregnant again, she never even considered not having the baby, even though her doctors warned that she may end up in a wheelchair or worse. While we prayed, I held St. Gianna’s glove to Jessie’s back. She whispered to me to please take it away as it was very hot and felt uncomfortable. My heart just leapt for joy, as I knew that Jessie would be cured, even if I were not. On February 21, 2006 Jessie had a doctor’s appointment and the good news is that the curvature of her spine has greatly improved. Jessie is due to deliver Emma Grace about the middle of March. About three months after that, her doctors will do another bone density test. I feel positive that the results will be normal, and that she will have no spine fractures after this baby. Thank you Saint Gianna, praise God!!!! I was preparing myself to undergo more chemotherapy and a very risky stem cell transplant—i.e. a transplant when you are not in remission and do not have a good donor match. Chances of success were poor at best, but my other option was to go on hospice and enjoy my last 6-9 month on earth. The transplant process is full of pitfalls, including organ rejection, pneumonias and chemo drugs, and a possible 3 month stay in the hospital if you were lucky to live that long. I was determined to see my yet-to-be born granddaughter, and prayed that I would live long enough to hold baby Emma Grace in my arms. On February22, after another bone marrow biopsy, I was given the best news of my life—“”there is no evidence of leukemia in your bone marrow”. My husband, three children, extended family and wonderful friends all jumped for joy with me. Even more impossible to explain, is that at my next appointment the doctor reported that the problematic cytogenetics issues of the abnormal gene that was resistant to treatment had ether vanished or resolved itself. The doctors were at a complete loss to explain how this could have happened. I know how this happened – MIRACLE! I am so very grateful to Jack and Amy Weber for bringing over St. Gianna’s gloves to me when I was so down and facing such long odds. Not only did they cure my daughter of her back problems, but me also. Two miracles for the price of one visit! I am still not quit out of the woods, as I will now go through the transplant procedure. But now that I am in remission, my chances of a successful transplant are vastly improved. I may be able to do a self-transplant, where my own stem cells are harvested, cleaned up and given back to me. This option completely eliminates all the rejection stuff. If I do go the donor transplant avenue, a better match has turned up in the meantime (another miracle!). I am feeling very positive about my future. Thank you Saint Gianna, for inter ceding on my behalf. Thank you Jack and Amy Weber (I may need another visit before the transplant.) Thank you to all my wonderful family and friends who have been praying non-stop for my recovery. I will write again and let you know how I am doing. Debbie/Lansdale, PA By: Debbie, Lansdale, PA

Note 11 My sister did not need a hysterectomy. She had minimal surgery to have a cyst removed. Thank you for your prayers. By: Cathy

Note 12 Thank you note :- Thank you St. Gianna for the safe and healthy birth of our daughter, Gianna Rose, on February 20, 2006. In 2003 Gianna\'s older brother, Derek, was born to eternal life the day after his earthly birth. Following Derek\'s passing, we were told by our infertility doctor that a subsequent pregnancy was unlikely. However, after touching St. Gianna\'s relics and praying for her intercession, I became pregnant without requiring an ovarian cyst aspiration as had been previously done in attempts to conceive Derek. Ultimately, our prayers were answered with the safe and healthy arrival of our baby daughter. Thank you St. Gianna for your intercession and for God\'s living miracles!

Note 14 Answered Prayers Through the past year, after losing a baby boy named Joseph, we have been praying to do God's will for having another child. We felt the Lord was putting it on our hearts, so it was his will. After months of prayer and discerning his will, we were disappointed when we weren't getting pregnant. We have 6 children who had been praying very hard for another child. I knew St. Gianna's relics were coming to our church and was doing a novena to St. Gianna and St. Joseph (since we lost Joseph). When St. Gianna's relics came to our church, they prayed over me and placed the gloves on my stomach. The next day, which was the feast of St. Joseph, we found out that we were pregnant. Needless to say my children were very excited, as well as, my husband and I.

Note 15 April 6, 2006 I asked for your prayers for Saint Gianna\'s intercession and I prayed to Saint Gianna that gynecological problems that may have prevented me from becoming a mother, be cleared up. Thankfully, these issues have been resolved! Thank-you

Note 16 April 6, 2006 - When I was 34 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child my doctor told me the baby was breach. He would not attempt to turn the baby as my first child was born by cesarean section and there was a risk of rupturing the old incision. I called upon all our family and friends to pray for us, and St. Gianna was one of the Saints that my rosary group and I prayed intently to for intercession. Just before my 37 week appointment with my doctor I could not shake the feeling that even though my doctor had made it clear he would not attempt to turn the baby, I needed to ask him again. Though he again voiced firm objections, to my surprise he agreed to meet us at the hospital and do another scan to see if the version might be possible. The very next day, despite my doctor\'s reservations, despite my previous c-section, despite how late in the pregnancy, despite the size of the baby (one week later was 8 lbs 4 oz), my doctor easily turned my son by placing his hands on my belly and applying gentle pressure. I believe in my heart that our Lord heard the intersessions of St. Gianna and Mary our Holy Mother and saved my family from the struggle of another cesarean birth. My gratitude cannot be expressed. God Bless. Document Available :- Option Selected:- I grant the Society of St Gianna the permission to edit and post my intercession

Note 33 Thank you note :- Thank you, Saint Gianna, for allowing the tests and doctors to confirm my husband\'s remission from stage 3 esophageal cancer, and for continuing to keep him, to this day, cancer free-

Note 34 St. Gianna was brought to my attention by my sister-in-law. Hestitant to bring me her story, she did it anyway. Thanks be to God! I was diagnosed with Stage IIe non-hodgkins\' lymphoma AND papillary thryoid cancer on June 9, 2004. On 6/15/04 I found out I was pregant with our 4th child. Obviously, terminating my child was not an option. So, I had to wait to have surgery until my baby could make it through also. In August, during a 7 hour surgery, I had my spleen removed (where the tumor was) and my entire thyroid. I would promptly start chemotherapy 3 weeks later, 7 days after my 37th birthday. I would put off a portion of my treatment b/c it was not known how it would affect our baby. During each round of chemotherapy, I could just feel St. Gianna there filtering all the toxic drugs away from my beautiful child. Three weeks after my last treatment, on January 25, 2005, Grace Gianna was born into this world at 7 lbs. 6 oz. and perfectly healthy! I finished up 4 more treatments for the lymphoma and 2 more for the thyroid cancer that I couldn\'t do while pregnant and I have been in remission for 1 1/2 years! Praise our Good God!! Grace Gianna has also enjoyed great health! Also, before my surgery, my husband and I were invited by our Archbishop, Raymond Burke, to his home so he could pray with us. He has a relic of St. Gianna\'s wedding dress! We were able to venerate the relic and on our journey we continued with the comfort that we had St. Gianna interceding for us! This month (May 2006)Archbishop Burke has announced a new parish in our archdiocese. It is named....St. Gianna!

Note 37 Thank you note :- Thank you, St. Gianna, for interceding for me to help me become pregnant!

Note 38 I was pregnant with my fourth child in 2005. I have had problems with kidney stones during pregnancy and a friend of mine (her fourth child is named Gianna)gave me a relic of St. Gianna. I learned more about her life and prayed to her throughout the pregnancy. Then on October 3, 2005, I went into labor (after many episodes of kidney stones and even a surgery while I was pregnant - during all of which I prayed to St. Gianna) I always had her relic with me. All day had passed and finally at night I had an epidural. Shortly after that the nurse checked to see how far dilated I was. When she checked she found the baby was facing the wrong way. She seemed very frantic and quickly started to make calls to the doctors and prepare for a C-section. My husband and I were nervous. So we prayed to St. Gianna and held onto the relic. At that moment I felt a big movement with the baby. When my doctor arrived and checked she said the baby was just fine and in the correct position. We gave birth to our fourth healthy son, Nikolas Joseph early in the morning of October 4, St. Gianna\'s birthday! Praise be to God!

Note 49 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR GIVING KEVIN A CHANCE TO SEE WHAT HE CAN DO ON HIS OWN. NOW PLEASE DO GOOD ON MY OTHER REQUEST

Note 50 After having tried unsuccessfully for two years to become pregnant. I prayed to several Saints including Blessed Gianna (since it was in 2001) and in October, 2001 my first pregnancy was confirmed at 38 years of age. I enjoyed a wonderful pregnancy and was blessed with a little boy in June, 2002. We wanted a sibling for our first child so again we began praying to the Saints including Saint Gianna and I become pregnant in August, 2004 at the age of 41. Our second blessing, another boy, arrived in May, 2005. Thank you Saint Gianna for our two most precious gifts in the world.

Note 51 About a year ago, my wife and I, unfortunately suffered a miscarriage. As devastating as it was, we kept our faith strong and put everything into Our Lord\'s hands. On my way into work each morning, while saying my prayers, I would always ask Our Lord, through the intercession of St. Gianna, to bless my wife and I with a child. One day, while driving to work, I saw a truck in the other lane as it passed. It had written on it, in huge gold letters, \"GIANNA\". I knew that St. Gianna was hearing my prayers and within a couple of weeks, my wife and I received the greatest news ever; we were expecting. Thus far my wife is doing wonderful in her pregnancy and my devotion to St. Giaana is always present. God Bless!

Note 52 After over a 17 months of infertility treatment with guidance for Archbishop Burke of St. Louis we turned to St. Gianna for intercession.

Note 53 Thank you Saint Gianna for the helthy and safe labor and delivery of Kym and her daughter Charolotte, and of Samantha and her daughter Elizabeth.

Note 54 Saint Gianna was canonized the day after my first born daughter\'s funeral. A good friend of my mother sent us a copy of a novena for then blessed Gianna and her story. Our family began praying to Gianna then. I had a very complicated first pregnancy and in addition to losing my daughter, I nearly lost my own life. I was told I had a 60-80% chance of a reoccurence in a following pregnancy. My husband and I so desparately wanted a child and decided we were willing to try again. But in the long months following our daughter\'s death we had trouble conceiving. It had been almost a year when one Sunday there was a blurb about the shrine to Saint Gianna in our church bulletin. We decided to visit the shrine. Saint Gianna\'s gloves were placed on my stomach and I kept the card I was given that day close to me at all times. Within 2 months I was pregnant. I prayed to Saint Gianna regularly and kept that card close to me always, especially at all of my medical appointments when I feared getting devastating news. In the end I was able to carry my second daughter to 36 weeks and despite a major complication at delivery she survived and is now a very healthy, happy, and energetic 11-month old. I still pray to Saint Gianna and am so very grateful to her for watching over us. There is no greater gift than the gift of life.

Note 55 Thank you for your prayers to help calm me while waiting for biopsy results while pregnant. Thankfully both my unborn child and I are healthy.

Note 56 I prayed to St. Gianna for several individuals whom were all very ill. Three of the individiuals had a miraculous recovery and are doing well (two years later). I thank you for listening and appealling to my prayers. Please continue to my interventation. God Bless You!!

Note 57 I give so much thanks to God and to St. Gianna! Last week I was given the prognosis of my second miscarriage, and went through all the emotional issues of facing the loss of my pregnancy and preparing for my D&C. My doctor had wanted to verify that the pregnancy was no longer viable, and had ordered blood tests and one final ultrasound. On Tuesday, Oct 24th, I gathered up my courage to walk through the doors to the hospital where I prepared to see an ultrasound without a baby. I grabbed my St Gianna charm and prayed with all my might. 30 minutes later, I received a small miracle when a heartbeat was found on the ultrasound. I had been given a 2% chance of having a viable pregnancy, and now I was seeing a hearbeat, where before no baby could be found. While I know I still have a long way to go with the pregnancy, I feel I have been given a second chance and my faith has been renewed. Thank you!

Note 58 Thank you St. Gianna for helping my surgery and recovery go without a hitch. I know you were with me throughout the entire procedure. Thank you also for taking care of my niece, Maddie, during delivery. There could have been serious complications but I know you were with her doctors that day. I also want to thank you for helping baby Collin beat the odds of survival. He is now doing so well. I know it had something to do with your prayer card inside of his incubator! Thank you for being my guardian angel and answering my prayers and helping the people I love.

Note 59 Thank You for protecting my heart.

Note 60 After 3 miscarriages in a row, and alot of prayers to St Gianna, I now have a 9 month old baby girl who we chose to name after her and her daughter, Gianna Emanuela! We are so very blessed and we thank St Gianna for interceding for us & our new baby daughter, Gianna!

Note 61 My dear friend Saint Gianna, thank you so much for your loving intercession to our Lord Jesus during my last pregnancy. I discovered I was pregnant with our third child in November of 2005. I had always gotten bad morning sickness when pregnant, but this time bad turned into horrifying. I could not keep anything down. I vomited everyting I ate and drank. Even water made me sick. I quickly lost twenty pounds during my second trimester. I was dehydrated as well, and needed many IV infusions. I often spent the day in my bathroom, vomiting for hours on end, until all that came out was bile and blood. I was diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum (HG). Saint Gianna had been a cherished friend of mine since she was still a Blessed. I \"met\" her during my pilgrimmage to World Youth Day in 2002, of which she was a patron. I knew this lovely saint had also suffered from HG. Each day, when I dragged myself to the bathroom, I brought my postcard from World Youth Day with the image of Saint Gianna. I would pray for her intercession and her strength. There was a day I thought constantly about abortion; Satan was tempting me severely. I cried out for it all to end. I looked at the picture of Saint Gianna and begged for her help; God felt so far away but Gianna understood what it was to suffer for a baby. When I asked for her help, I remembered Christ in the Garden, begging for the cup to pass from Him -- \"nevertheless, not my will, but Thine be done.\" The temptation to abort was instantly taken from me and Jesus suddenly felt close again. My darling daughter, Naomi Elizabeth Pearl, was born on Aug. 2, 2006. Saint Gianna helped me every step of the way. The baby\'s \"secret\" name will always be Gianna Gethsemane. Bless you, Saint Gianna. Thank you, loving Father, for providing saints like Gianna as role models of holiness for the rest of us.

Note 66 I have always been a devout Catholic but I never felt that my prayers have had much meaning until I met St. Gianna. I think that it is when we are in our darkest hour that we truly give ourselves totally to God\'s mercy. I myself am a physician and I often pray for my patients. I felt all was lost after many years of trying to conceive a baby. A dear friend of mine told me of St. Gianna and that her relic was going to be at St. Mary\'s of the Assumption church. I did touch her glove and a feeling of warmth came over me. Later after the Mass, we were told that people who receive blessings often felt the same way. I did conceive a baby several months later. At 31 weeks, I was diagnosed with severe preeclampsia and was told I had to deliver the baby. My health was in jeopardy. I told my husband to go home and get my prayer to St. Gianna. I have been praying to her throughout my entire pregnancy and I trusted she wouldn\'t let anything happen to me. My son was delivered weighing only 2 lbs. 13 oz. He was very healthy and never needed oxygen or medications. Now at 1 years old, he is a 19lb very happy and healthy little boy. I continue to pray to St. Gianna everyday. It was also through her intercession that I passed my medical boards. I do consider St. Gianna my friend and guide. I never proceed through a surgical procedure until I prayed to her to guide my hands. Blessed be St. Gianna!

Note 67 My daughter Lourdes is a resident in Pediatrics. This is her last year (3rd.) and she has a lot of work, nights on call that she cannot sleep at all, etc. She became pregnant last February (first child) and I offer her pregnancy to St. Gianna. I pray a lot to her. At her 5th month she got cramps, but she could stay at home resting for 2 weeks and last Nov.16 she had a beautiful baby girl, Eva Beatriz, their first child,our first grand-daughter and she had a pretty good labor. I was all the time praying for the intersecion of St. Gianna. My daughter works until two days before she got in labor.

A recent ultrasound turned out to be normal. I had sent her a prayer card touched to St. Gianna\'s relic when her relics were brought to our church recently. My niece who never heard of St. Gianna had decided to name the baby Gianna, unbeknown to me. We know St. Gianna had something to do with that! Thank you, St. Gianna.

Note 75 Message :- I became pregnant at age 19, and my own family pressured me to abort. I knew I could not raise a child, despite having a faithful, pro-life boyfriend to whom I am now actually engaged to. I had no support from anyone except him, and his family. The night before the schedualed abortion, I prayed to God, to send someone to intercede, to give me the stregnth to do what his will is. The next day I ran out of the clinic. I had found the courage and strengnth to do Gods will. On Janurary 10th, 2007 I gave birth to a baby boy. After many months of discussing options with my boyfriend, we decided adoption was the best thing we could do for our son. We found a wonderful Catholic family to raise him and give him everything I only wish I could have. After the day at the clinic, my mindset became \"No one will ever touch my baby.\" I love my son with everything I have and it was the hardest thing I\'ve ever done in my life, saying goodbye to him for the last time. But this was my calling, and I trust God. I put my pain, my hopes, my dreams, my life, into His hands, and I believe He sent St. Gianna to intercede. I will be baptized next Easter, and have chosen her as my Patron Saint. My life was turned around, and I am so greatful for that awakening.

Note 76 Thank you note :- Prior to knowing the gender of our first child, my husband and I couldn\'t agree on any names. On the day that my husband and I found out we were having a girl, and to our surprise, the name Gianna came immediately to our minds. We quickly agreed that out daughter would be named Gianna. Soon after we me with the physicians to discuss the test results only to find out that I had a two-vessel cord. It is a \"marker\" and could have meant several things. While we were told not to worry, we did. While at home and trying to be optimistic, I did a search on the meaning of the name Gianna and learned about Saint Gianna. I knew from reading her story that we picked the perfect name and that Saint Gianna would watch over our little Gianna as she grew. In December 2005, we had a healthy baby girl and we certainly gave her the name Gianna. She has a beautiful spirit and at the young age of 1 1/2 has a love for God, Jesus, and the church. She knows to give her kisses, do the sign of the cross, bless herself and she can\'t wait until she is of the age to receive communion. We were truly blessed and we feel that Saint Gianna was watching over when for some we easily picked her name. Our daugher is lucky to have the name of a Saint that stands for the life of a child - a true miracle. Thanks you with all our heart. The proud and fortunate parents of little Gianna.

Note 77 Thank you note :- thank you for praying for me. I know that St. Gianna heard your praryers and she is listening.

Note 78 Thank you note :- Thank you, St. Gianna for helping get a job. I happy that I am working now. It\'s a job that I love because I am helping others.

Note 79 I just delivered baby #5 on July 16. During my pregnancy, I had a vision of St.Gianna. (I was worried about delivery due to being a v-bac for the 4th time.) In the vision She told me that she would be with me during Labor and Delivery. She was there! My baby was born with the cord around her neck and a knot in the umbilical cord, it was only through St. Gianna\'s intercession that my baby was born without any complications during delivery or any other problems that can occur due to the cord being knotted or around the baby\'s neck. Thank you St. Gianna.

Note 80 Thank you, Saint Gianna for the gift of our daughter, Madeline Gianna Miller, born on September 3, 2006. We are so blessed to have Madeline in our lives and we owe the experience of a healthy pregnancy and birth to you and your intercessions. We came to you when we were in complete despair and you answered our call in the most amazing way. We are truly blessed to have you as in inspiration. I hope that I can follow in your example of seflessness as I journey through motherhood with my little girl. THANK YOU!!!

Note 81 A few weeks ago, I somehow came upon this site, and spent several hours reading about Saint Gianna. I believe that I heard St. Gianna\'s voice urging me to bring my friend Anne Marie to visit the shrine. Anne Marie was widowed a little over a year ago. She and her husband were never able to have children, even though they would have been welcomed. Anne Marie is soon to be engaged to a wonderful man, Matt, who is also widowed (and not coincidentally was a friend of her late husband). He has expressed a strong desire to raise another family (Matt has 2 sons ages 20 and 22). Yesterday, 8-14-07, I made a pilgrimage with Anne Marie to your beautiful shrine. We both prayed for whatever is God\'s will in this matter. As she placed her hands on St. Gianna\'s gloves, I laid my hand over hers to pray. We were both filled with an incredible peace and joy. It was also not a coincidence, that 8-14-07 was not only the vigil of the Assumption of Mary, but the feast day of St. Maximllian Kolbe, who also gave his life so someone else might live. If God in His infinite wisdom see fit to bless Anne Marie and Matthew with children, whether through natural means or adoption, they will be brought to the St. Gianna shrine at the Nativity of Our Lord Church to say \"Thank You, dear Jesus and St. Gianna\". We look forward to coming again.

Note 82 Thank you St. Gianna for praying for Steve and I to conceive! Your intercession worked! I pray that this pregnancy is viable and healthy. I know it will be since our due date is your feast day! Thank you for being my special angel!

Note 83 Thank you Saint Gianna for helping my sister in her time of need.

Note 84 St. Gianna--Thank you so much for your prayers. Today we saw a yolk sac in our ultrasound!!!! Since both of our previous pregnancies ended in blighted ovum\'s, I\'ve never seen anything in an ultrasound other than gestational sac! This is so emotional and exciting to my husband and I. I know you are praying for my unborn baby and I know that last week when I visited the shrine, you sent your special blessings to my baby through your gloves! We love you and believe in your miraculous works. Please continue to pray for us!

Note 85 Thanks for your for Cleo, today she received a teaching job. Once again thanks St.Gianna for your continued prayers
