Jessica Hanna, a saintly Catholic mother of four small kids, passed away on Saturday after her long battle with cancer, which she faced with love and hope in the Lord, inspiring thousands on her journey to eternity. Her Instagram page (@blessed_by_cancer ) has been filled with messages of joy even amid suffering, which I believe would be used by the Catholic Church for her canonization process and will be a guiding light for people who are suffering in their lives. Remember her family in your valuable prayers. She was diagnosed with breast cancer while pregnant with her fourth child in 2020. Despite some doctors suggesting termination of the pregnancy, she adamantly refused, determined to bring her child into the world. Following her son’s birth who was named Thomas Solanus after Blessed Solanus Casey, her scanning report indicated she was free from cancer, but unfortunately, it returned after a few months, as stated on her GoFundMe page. During one of her chemo, she wrote on Instagram, “Offering to God: Shaving my head for chemo- The Lord gives, the Lord takes away, Blessed be the name of the Lord!” In another post she says that people with terminal illness are often asked what their dream last meal would be, adding that. “For me, it was a no-brainer, my last meal would be the Supper of the Lamb- the Eucharist.”
I urge prayers for her soul. I assume that there will be fund raisers for her family and I will note those on the blog when I learn of them. May God send her husband and her four kids grace and peace to bear their terrible loss.
In my private devotions I will begin to seek the aid of Saint Jessica for pro-life causes. I believe she is one of the torches that God in His mercy send us to light our way in this frequently dark Vale of Tears.

May she rest in eternal peace. Jessica, pray for us.
Rest In Gods Eternal Peace Jessica. 😢 May your bravery in the face of uncertainty be your lasting legacy and a shining example of what it is to have Faith in Our Lord and His will. You are now remembered in the same light as St Gianna Beretta Molla. May God watch over your husband and beautiful children – in this life and into Eternity.
Saint Jessica is going to change the world.
RIP, holy woman of God.
Peace be her’s. Healing for her loved ones.
