friends of st maria goretti

Hi! I just joined. I love St. maria Goretti. I took her as a patroness as St. Philomena was St. John Vianni's patroness.

I'd love to be a Martyr of Purity.... How blessed St Maria was!

A Prayer In Honor of Saint Maria Goretti

Quote

"ST. MARIA GORETTI,
Strengthened by God’s grace,
You did not hesitate,
Even at the age of eleven,
To shed your blood
To sacrifice life itself
To defend your virginal purity.

Deign to look graciously
On the unhappy human race,
Which has strayed far
From the path of eternal salvation.

Teach us all,
And especially the youth,
With the courage and promptness
We should flee anything
That could offend Jesus.

Obtain for me
From God a great horror of sin,
So that, keeping my soul undefiled,
I may live a holy life on earth
And win eternal glory in heaven.
Amen."

Quote:

“ The message which emerges from the story of Maria Goretti is one concerning personal dignity at the simple human level, which must be defended against every ruse and every violence, and it is one which also concerns consecration of one’s energies, including physical energies, to the Lord and to the Church, in radical obedience to God’s law”
