Oh Saint Maria Goretti who, strengthened
by God's grace, did not hesitate even at the age of twelve to shed
your blood and sacrifice life itself to defend your virginal purity,
look graciously on the unhappy human race which has strayed far from
the path of eternal salvation. Teach us all, and especially youth,with
what courage and promptitude we should flee for the love of Jesus
anything that could offend Him or stain our souls with sin. Obtain for
us from our Lord victory in temptation, comfort in the sorrows of
life, and the grace which we earnestly beg of thee (here insert
intention), and may we one day enjoy with thee the imperishable glory
of Heaven. Amen. |
