Prayer to Saint Maria Goretti
Saint Maria Goretti, your testimony to life is so necessary for us!
You defended the dignity of women refusing to be used as an object of passion without feeling or love. You understood the fundamental difference that exists between freedom and selfishness, and you screamed with all the strength you had left that evil is evil because it hurts us.
You defended the true love, a love that is born out of purity and blooms out of a sincere gift of self, a love that knows how to gather it’s children into a feast called family. Pray for the youth and adults of today who are running the risk of not knowing how to love anymore.
Pray that purity of heart can be rediscovered as freedom from selfishness, as a promise of every possible gift, and a condition to be able to love as God loves, for He is Love!
Saint Maria Goretti, pray for us!
