God, our Father,
You have granted to Your church
the gift of St. Gianna Beretta Molla.
In her youth she lovingly sought You
and drew other young people to You,
involving them, through apostolic witness
and Catholic Action, in the care of the sick
and aged, to help and comfort them.
We thank You for the gift of this young woman,
so deeply committed to You.
Through her example grant us the grace
to consecrate our lives to Your service,
for the joy of our brothers and sisters.
