Sista Roxana Rodriguez (33), amesema ana furaha kupata mtoto na hajuti kuwa mama.
This is the first picture of nun and new mother Roxana Rodriguez.
The
33-year-old woman, a nun with the order of the Little Disciples of
Jesus, stunned her mother superior and local church chiefs after giving
birth last week to a baby boy which she has called Francis, in honour of
the current Pope.
Sister
Roxana initially claimed to have no idea that she was pregnant and
thought her labour pains were 'stomach cramps' when an ambulance rushed
her to hospital in severe pain after being called by fellow nuns when
she collapsed at her nunnery.
She told her social worker Anna
Fontanella:'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, let alone
Rieti.'
Sister Roxana has
written a letter of apology to the order's mother superior general
Elvira Petaraca - the woman who in September she solemnly promised to
follow her vows of 'chastity, poverty and obedience', the three main
pillars of the Little Disciples of Jesus Order.
The
nun had only arrived in Italy last summer at the nunnery in Rieti and
has told officials that the father is a man from her native El Salvador
but she has so far not named him.
Father
Benedetto Falcetti, priest at the nearby St Michael's church in Rieti,
said: '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.'
