Prayer to Saint 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 preserve 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. *
