                      HON. NICHOLAS A. LANGWORTHY

                         Tuesday, July 23, 2024

  Mr. LANGWORTHY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the living legacy 
of Gianna Emanuela Molla, MD--who has dedicated her life to the health 
of women and children as she serves and advocates for the sanctity of 
life. Her journey, intertwined with compassion, dedication, and 
profound faith, serves as an inspiration to all who seek to make a 
difference in this world.
  Her mother, Saint Gianna Beretta Molla, showed immeasurable courage 
during her pregnancy while facing a life-threatening condition. In the 
end, she was forced to make the hardest choice, herself or her 
daughter. She heroically chose to prioritize her unborn child, 
demonstrating a profound act of sacrificial love as a testament to her 
unwavering belief in the sanctity of all life, a belief that guided her 
every action and decision.
  Continuing in this legacy, Gianna Emanuela Molla has traveled the 
world bringing a message of hope, love, and maternal appreciation. She 
actively supports initiatives that promote life-affirming values and 
contribute to organizations that assist women facing difficult 
pregnancies. Her life of service extend beyond the confines of her 
clinic, touching many through her kindness, generosity, and unwavering 
faith.
  Her service is a reminder that we must be grounded in a deep 
appreciation for life--because there is no greater gift.
