Almost two years ago, I shared the story of Chiara Corbella Petrillo, a young Italian wife and mother who, like St. Gianna Beretta Molla, gave her life for her son. Her story is fascinating and heartbreaking, but little is available in English. I just came across a new article, however, written by a woman who speaks both English and Italian, and who was present at a recent event with Chiara's husband. If you're interested in learning more about how a woman with a modern day Job experience responded with peace and joy, then be sure to read this.
I guess I missed your first post about her, but I'm so glad I didn't miss this one. I have heard of her, but knew NOTHING. After reading that article, I was crying like a baby, but totally inspired. Thanks for posting this, Emily.
