Esther, wet nurse of Johanna of Chuza
Nurse of Johanna of Chuza.
"I took her to my breast from her mother... I was a servant, married myself, and I had given birth to a child one month earlier. I gave her my milk because the mother, too weak, could not... I was like a mother to her when she became an orphan, even though she could barely say 'mama'. My Hair turned white and my forehead wrinkled from watching over her illness... I made her bridal clothes, I led her to her wedding... I smiled at her maternal hopes... I wept with her over her child, dead..."[1]She pleads to Jesus to heal her mistress,[2] which will be done.[3]
