St. Maria Goretti
Patroness
of Youth, Young Women,
Purity, and Rape Victims
to Be It Done Unto Me
Charming Saint
Maria, and true child of Mary the Mother of Jesus, you were so
young but already so strong in resisting a cruel tempter and
preferring to die a martyr.
How greatly we need today---when chastity is often discarded---
more models and intercessors like you!
Multiply faithful Children of Mary for her glory and that of her
Son.
Amen.
St. Maria Goretti, strengthened by God's grace, you did not hesitate, even at the age of eleven, to sacrifice life itself to defend your virginal purity. Look graciously on the unhappy human race that has strayed far from the path of eternal salvation. Teach us all, and especially our youth, the courage and the promptness that will help us avoid anything that could offend Jesus. Obtain for me a great horror of sin, so that I may live a holy life on earth and win eternal glory in heaven. Amen.
Our Father..., Hail Mary..., Glory be....
feast day: July 6
