Listen "Episode 12: St. Gianna Molla"
Episode Synopsis
St. Gianna Molla was a wife, mother, doctor, and God's faithful servant. St. Gianna inspires us to open ourselves to the many ways God will call us to use our gifts and talents for His glory. She particularly inspires any woman who longs to follow Christ in all things. She practiced self-giving daily in her call to her family, her medical patients, and in the stillness of prayer with God.Our podcast & reflection for today is by slacker Kara Hebert. Kara Hebert is a native of Breaux Bridge, Louisiana. A small-town community where family and faith run strong. She is married to Daniel, her one and only high school sweetheart. They welcomed their first daughter, Genevieve, in the winter of 2017. A few short years later, they prepared to welcome a new member to their family with their second daughter, Vivienne. Unfortunately, at her routine 16-week check-up, they learned Vivienne's little heart was no longer beating. With Daniel at her side, on August 20th of 2019, Kara gave birth to Vivienne Janeé Hebert. Her parents delivered her into the arms of Jesus.In the aftermath of burying their daughter, Kara struggled in her desolation as the world around her continued to move forward while she felt she had ceased living anymore. Through the support of other bereaved mothers and the grace of God dispensed within the sacraments, she began to see and feel His light.As her life-long grief journey was beginning, divine providence, and the communion of their children in heaven, seated her behind Kelly and Ryan Breaux, founders of Red Bird Ministries, at our home parish St. Bernard Church one Saturday afternoon. From that point forward, Kara's desire to know and love the Lord gained strength. Her attendance at the Restored grieving mother's retreat where Jesus' overwhelming presence moved her to begin using her voice, her words to glorify Him through her suffering. This special calling allows Kara to bring Jesus to others and create a legacy for Vivienne, both of which greatly delight her heart. about today's featured podcaster and saint here: https://www.littlewithgreatlove.com/st-gianna-molla/This podcast is sponsored by: Littlewithgreatlove.com + Redbird.love.Special thanks to slacker, Jeff Sanchez, for voiceover work; and musician Rev.
