The Macciantonio family’s life changed forever after their baby daughter had a chance meeting with Pope Francis in Philadelphia, leading to an outcome they never could have imagined. Joey and Kristen Macciantonio were both raised in devout Catholic families, attending church every Sunday and learning about faith, love, and kindness. Their shared belief in God brought them together, and they fell in love, knowing that faith would always play a big part in their lives. They promised to raise their future children in the same Catholic tradition.

When their precious daughter, Gianna, was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder and a tumor, their faith didn’t weaken. Instead, they prayed even more, hopeful that God would answer their prayers and heal her. Donnie Asper, an FBI agent and friend from their church, had seen their struggles firsthand. He wanted to help. When Donnie was selected to help with security during Pope Francis’s visit to Philadelphia, he felt he had to do something special for his friends…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

News of Pope Francis’s visit had spread quickly, and the city was excited for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the spiritual leader of their faith. The Pope was coming to attend the World Meeting of Families, an important event for Catholics that celebrated family life and marriage. For many in Philadelphia, the chance to see Pope Francis in person was a dream come true.

Donnie knew how much Joey and Kristen’s faith meant to them, and how much they hoped a blessing from the Pope could bring healing to their daughter. He wanted to make that meeting happen, knowing how meaningful it could be for the family.

When the day of the Pope’s visit arrived, Donnie was on duty, monitoring the crowd in downtown Philadelphia. He realized the Pope would be passing by the courthouse on Market Street, and quickly called Joey and Kristen. He urged them to bring Gianna down to the city, telling them this was an opportunity they couldn’t miss. Joey and Kristen were excited but also nervous, as they worried about bringing their sick daughter into such a large, crowded area.

Despite their concerns, they trusted Donnie and made their way downtown. Donnie found them a special spot where they could get a good view of the Pope. As the motorcade approached, Joey held Gianna up high, hoping for a blessing. Suddenly, Pope Francis noticed the little girl. A security guard appeared and took Gianna from Joey’s arms, carrying her over to the Pope, who leaned in and kissed her on the head. The crowd fell silent, and Joey and Kristen were filled with gratitude. It was a magical moment they would never forget. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

After the excitement of the encounter, the family continued with Gianna’s medical appointments, bracing for the worst. They had grown used to fear and uncertainty as they waited for news about her condition. But when they got a call from the doctor, the message was not what they expected. Six weeks after being blessed by the Pope, Gianna’s tumor had shrunk significantly. The doctors couldn’t explain the sudden improvement. Joey and Kristen were stunned, overcome with emotion, and believed that the Pope’s blessing had triggered a miracle.

As Gianna continued to get better, the family’s story spread, inspiring many with renewed faith in God and miracles. Joey and Kristen looked back on the day their daughter received the Pope’s blessing with deep gratitude, knowing that their lives had been forever changed.

The power of faith and the grace of God had brought them to this moment, and they were filled with wonder as they watched their daughter grow stronger each day. Though their journey wasn’t over, they knew they would never forget the day their prayers were answered, and their lives were forever changed by the kindness of Pope Francis.

What an incredible miracle! Do you believe the Pope has the power to grant God’s blessings? Have you ever witnessed something like this? Share your story in the comments below. Thank you for watching, and see you next time!

Man indecently abused another victim while on probation, but ‘the judge said he shouldn’t go to prison’ because of this!

Published

According to the court documents, the then-33-year-old defendant, Maurice, was first arrested for ra-ing a 16-year-old girl while serving as the manager of a restaurant.

He pleaded guilty to having se* with the underage girl in the kitchen of restaurant, which the victim said she did because “he told her to” and “he was her boss and she needed to keep her job.”

For the crime of statutory ra-e, the defendant was sentenced to a 120-day se* offender program before being released on probation. Although he completed the rehab program, this was only the beginning of the registered se* offender’s crime spree.

Just one month after he was released from the se* offending assessment unit, he brutally ra-ed the mother of his children. However, despite being found guilty of his second ra-e, the presiding judge believed he shouldn’t even touch the inside of a jail cell. Judge Holden sentenced the defendant to just five years probation for his second ra-e after his probation officer and se* abuse program counselor convinced him that he was “making progress in his counseling…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

“So the judge was able to hear from somebody who has expertise in this type of treatment, who has supervised and treated him for quite some time, and came to a conclusion that continuity under these circumstances was going to be warehousing him in a prison,” explained the defendant’s defense attorney Coatney.

Despite prosecutors’ request that he receive the maximum 7 years in prison, Judge Holden handed down the probation sentence because Maurice seems to be improving in counseling. However, Holden ignored the fact that the 33-year-old man ra-ed his second victim after completing a similar program intended to rehabilitate the se* offender.

That decision has sparked outrage on social media including a post by county prosecutor Patterson with a Ronald Reagan quote that “We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker.

It’s time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.” Many experts claim that the most disturbing thing about Maurice’s case is that there are now two women who have learned that the court system doesn’t always deliver justice.

Sadly, he lives to offend another day while his victims must suffer the long-lasting effects of his crimes. Ladies and gentlemen, we are republishing this story amid recent reports that suggest many US states are recording record highs in se-ual assault incidents.

Porch Thief Steals Sick Boy’s Medicine Worth $40K Off Doorstep

Just about everyone does online shopping these days. How could we not, with just how convenient it all is?

You buy something without ever leaving the house, pay for it, and then it shows up on your doorstep a few days later!

For folks that have mobility or health issues, or aren’t able to get to the shops in time, online shopping is basically a godsend.

There is just one tiny problem – people have realized that there are more and more valuable goods simply left out on the front porch unattended, often for hours at a time.

And with this vulnerability comes the potential for theft. When you are desperate or just greedy, parcels left sitting in front of the door is just easy pickings…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

And it doesn’t help that most deliveries are conducted during office hours – the times where most people won’t be available, which is why they chose online shopping in the first place.

(This is probably why Amazon Key is now a thing – you can’t lose your purchases if they were left inside your house.)

So as convenient as it is to just have packages waiting for you once you reach back home, the risk of losing them can be grave, as this family found out the hard way.

While most people would be incredibly upset that they had their parcel stolen (and be set back a sizeable amount of money), this teenager has bigger problems to worry about.

14-year-old Gage Haynes is now in a life-or-death situation after about $40,000 worth of medication was swiped from the doorstep of his house in Summerlin, Nevada on one February day.

Diagnosed with systemic mastocytosis at only 6 months old, Gage has spent the pretty much most of his life staring at the inside of hospital walls as much as he has being outside them. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Because of the rarity of his cancer, finding the right treatment for him was a massive struggle that consumed most of Gage’s life.

Then, Gage and his mother, Shakala, found the miracle they had been searching for – a new chemotherapy medication called Rydapt.

8 pills a day eases Gage’s symptoms to the point he can attend school and worry about his grades for a change – a massive quality-of-life change.

But the new medication came at a steep cost.

Shakala had to work herself to the bone to gain both financial assistance and earn enough money to afford the monthly $40,000 cost necessary to keep her son alive.

To top things off, the medication wasn’t approved by the FDA for those under the age of 18, making it hard to get.

So when the unidentified thief made off with two packages in broad daylight, he just made it a lot harder for Gage to survive.

The teen has since put out a public plea for the thief to return the costly and life-saving medication he desperately needs.

Here’s to hoping the thief has at least a shred of humanity left in him and returns the medication once he realizes what he has done.

Lexi recalls that the driver was waving his arms around and then he dropped to the ground. This is when she yelled for her friend to stop the car.

Lexi then ran over to the man who had fallen out into the road. She pulled him back to safety and called 911.

He was able to let her know that he had an internal defibrillator.

This was due to heart issues from the past and how he was currently suffering from arrhythmia.

While she was accessing him, he began to have a seizure.

Lexi was able to place him on his side and keep him safe, while waiting to perform CPR if he needed it.

She was able to keep the man awake and calm until the ambulance was on site.

He wanted to meet her and thank her for saving him.

He walked into the classroom carrying a beautiful bouquet of flowers for the girl that gave him another chance at life.

Brian was able to talk to the class and bragged on Lexi.

He explained how he had seen grown adults in the Navy loose it under stress but that wasn’t in Lexi’s nature.

She had a true gift of how to react in the time of need.

He went on to talk of her character and how she was an astounding person for the choices that she made.

He then took out a pin that was adorned with dolphins by a submarine.

Brian explained that it took him 20 years to earn this pin. It wasn’t a small task either.

He revealed the date that he was pinned on October 19th, 1993.

Then, he placed the pin on Lexi and told her that she had earned the dolphins.

Lexi was quick to stop and help. Without her, Brian’s life may be nonexistent.

She is a true hero and will make a great addition to the medical field.
