Novenas For Pregnancy

NOVENA TO SAINT GIANNA:

God, our Father, you have granted to your church the gift of Gianna Beretta Molla. In her youth she lovingly sought you and drew other 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 life to your servce, for the joy of our brothers and sisters. May we become generous Christians at the service of our brothers and sisters, especially those with whom you design to share your Cross. We beg you to grant to our families the serene and Christian presence of mothers committed to transform their families into cenacles of faith and love, rich with generous activity and santifying service.

Grant us the grace we seek…and the joy to find an isnpiration in Saint Gianna who, as a model spouse and mother, after the example of Christ, gave up her life for the life of others.

We offer this Novena for the sanctity of all life and for the intentions of all those who are praying with us.

One Our Father
One Hail Mary
One Glory Be

  • Thank you for posting this novena online. I just saw on EWTN the film Love Is A Choice. I have heard of St. Gianna Molla before, but each time I am reintroduced to her, I am drawn to pray to her. I am a married woman who is infertile, and I desperately want a child either naturally or through adoption – which my husband and I are pursuing. But both are proving fruitless. I hope that St. Gianna Molla can intercede for me concerning these intentions.

  • Dear Anne-Marie,

    I am glad that your way here and found this novena. It is a beautiful prayer, to a beautiful saint.

    Prayers for you.

  • Dear Friend,
    I stumbled upon your blog. I am on the board of directors of the Society of St. Gianna and am the shrine coordinator. I noticed that you put the novena prayer at the top of your site. Thank you! I would be glad to send you a blessed medal of St. Gianna and holy card that has touched her relic gloves. If you would like to add my email address to your blog as well I would be happy to send any of your readers the same. My email address was posted on another blogger’s site and I got 10 requests for medals!! I do this in thanksgiving for my two blessings- after 4 yrs. of fertility issues, St. Gianna interceded for me. I now have a 3 year old and a one year old.

    God bless you,
    Angela
    Society of St. Gianna

      Is that email address still available from Angela of the Society of St. Gianna to receive the medals? I would very much like to write and make a request for them. Her son was just in our local area but I was not able to make it.
      Thank you.
      Jayne

  • Angela,

  • Thank you and God bless you

    Hello,
    I too was drawn toward St. Gianna when I heard her life story and have a little girl who is 1 year old today named Ruth Gianna. St. Gianna pray for us.
    Love, Stacey

  • Thank you so much for posting this Novena. I love Saint Gianna and now I am going to receive a medal (I hadn’t known that they’d been struck!). I am so grateful.

  • I really like your blog — especially this section on St. Gianna. My husband and I are trying to conceive after a miscarriage in March, and we are going to pray the novena.

    Thanks so much for your blog!

    • Remain in hope! I always tell people that I am so grateful that we did not give up hope or (completely) succumb to fear after our losses. There are some beautiful smiles around our table that we would have missed out on if we did.
