From the homily of John Paul II for the canonization

«Of divine love Gianna Beretta Molla was a simple, but extremely significant messenger. A few days before her wedding, in a letter to her future husband, she wrote: "Love is the most beautiful feeling that the Lord has placed in the souls of men". Following the example of Christ, who "having loved her... loved her to the end" (Jn 13,1:XNUMX), this holy mother of a family heroically remained faithful to the commitment she assumed on her wedding day. The extreme sacrifice that sealed her life bears witness to how only those who have the courage to give themselves totally to God and to their brothers and sisters realize themselves. May our age rediscover, through the example of Gianna Beretta Molla, the pure, chaste and fruitful beauty of conjugal love, lived as a response to the divine call!».
