"Charity in truth, to which Jesus Christ bore witness by his earthly life and especially by his death and resurrection, is the principal driving force behind the authentic development of every person and of all humanity." (Pope Benedict XVI, Encyclical Letter Caritas in Veritate 29th June 2009)

Young mother sacrifices her life for her unborn child
Lifesite News carries a full report of the heroic sacrifice of her life made by Jessica Council to ensure that her unborn child had every opportunity of being born. Having been diagnosed with cancer of the throat she not only refused abortion but also refused treatment of the cancer when she was advised that it might harm her child. Another Gianna Beretta Molla?
Another sacrifice was made: that of her husband Clint. He describes his struggle to cope with the loss of his wife and to understand God's will.

Wow. This is truly an inspiring story, and one of ultimate sacrifice. But I couldn't imagine I'd have it any other way if I were in her position. What a saint!
