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.
Patron Saint of young women and rape victims, pray for us.
