"Midwife at Auschwitz".I was interested in the story about Stanislawa, the midwife MIDWIFE, med. jur. A woman who practices midwifery; a woman who pursues the business of an account. 2. A midwife is required to perform the business she undertakes with proper skill, and if she be guilty of any mala praxis, (q.v. of Auschwitz (C.I., April 2005, pp. 15-19). Our daughter, 44 years old, was expecting a baby in April. She was warned that she might have problems. I started prayers to the "midwife" after reading her story. When my son-in-law SON-IN-LAW, in Latin called gener. The husband of one's daughter. called to say Anne Marie had gone into labour early, I prayed I beg; I request; I entreat you; - used in asking a question, making a request, introducing a petition, etc.; as, Pray, allow me to go s>. See also: Pray during the vigil vigil (vĭj`əl) [Lat.,=watch], in Christian calendars, eve of a feast, a day of penitential preparation. In ancient times worshipers gathered for vespers before a great feast and then waited outside the church until dawn for the liturgy (Mass). for Stanislawa to be with the doctor. At that time, the doctor told our daughter later that she was very worried as the cord was against the stomach and knotted at the neck. At 5:15a.m. that morning a beautiful healthy baby boy was born. Thank you, Jesus and Stanislawa and also Matthew Anger, for giving us such an inspiring story about one of the heroes of our faith. Bernice Theurer Longford Mills, ON |
