A Martyr for the Unborn
The Vatican has announced that four new saints will be canonized soon, among them Bl. Gianna Beretta Molla, my sister's Confirmation saint (Confirmation beata?). Bl. Gianna died at age 39 because she refused cancer treatment so that her unborn child might survive. Wow. I can't think of a saint's story that is more needed in our times.
Although St. Athanasius is right up there, too.
