Prayer to St. Maria Goretti
Heroic and angelic Saint Maria
Goretti, * we kneel before you * to
honor your persevering fortitude *
and to beg your gracious aid. *
Teach us a deep love for the
precepts of our Holy Church; *
help us to see in them * the very
voice of our Father in heaven. *
May we persevere without stain *
our white baptismal robe of
innocence. *
May we who have lost this
innocence * kneel humbly in Holy
Penance; * and with the absolution
of the priest * may the torrent of
Christ's precious Blood * flow into
our souls * and give us new
courage * to carry the burning
light of God's love * through the
dangerous highways of this life *
until Christ our King * shall call
us to the courts of heaven *.
