More pic of nun who gave birth in italy

Circled is the Salvadorean nun who said she
had no idea she was pregnant when she gave
birth to a baby boy last week (Find the story

33 year old Roxana Rodriguez, a nun with the
order of the Little Disciples of Jesus, initially
claimed she thought her labour pains were
'stomach cramps' when an ambulance rushed
her to the hospital.

Her picture was published this weekend in the
Italian daily newspaper, Corriere Della Sera.
The new mum reportedly told her social
worker:

'I am so happy. I feel more of a mother
than a nun, I think that's obvious. I
decided to call him Francis in honour of
our wonderful south American Pope. I
do not feel of guilt. I will be keeping him
and bringing him up. He is a gift from
God. I am little worried about all the
publicity, not only in Italy but in El
Salvador and all over the world.
Everyone is talking about this and I don't
think I will be able to return to my
home country"

Sister Roxana took her vows and became a
nun in the order last September and has since
written an apology letter to the Church and
her Mother Superior. She revealed that the
father of her child is a man from her native
El Salvador but has not named him.

A priest close to the new mum told the
Italian magazine:

'It all happened last spring, around
March or April time when she was back
in El Salvador to get her passport
renewed. She has not said who the
father is but I understand he is an, shall
we say, old flame of hers from when she
was younger. At some stage I expect she
will tell the father that he has a son and
they will be reunited but I don't know
when that will be.'
