NOVENA TO SAINT MARIA GORETTI DAY 8

 DAY 8 CHARITY TO OTHERS

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen

Dear Little Martyr! To the last, you followed your beloved Jesus! He, while hanging upon His Cross of Suffering, uttered through parched lips, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do!" And you, upon your bed of pain, burning with fever, forgave your murderer with the words, "I too, pardon him… I, too, wish him to join me in Paradise!"


Grant me the grace, O Heroic Saint, to be charitable to others! Much of my time is spent on vengeful thoughts, seeking how I may pay back to others the harm they have done to me. Teach me to forgive, so that I may not only gain heaven, but also lead others there who might otherwise be doomed to hell. If I am to follow Christ, help me to imitate His Charity, even as you have done. Amen. 


Sweet Heart of Jesus, be my Love!

Sweet Heart of Mary, be my Salvation!

Recite the Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary (The Litany of Loreto)

Official Prayer to St Maria Goretti


Saint Mary 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, [State your intention here], and may we one day enjoy with Thee the imperishable glory of heaven. Amen


St Maria Goretti, Pray for us!

DAY 3 SELF-DENIAL In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen Dear Little Saint Maria! You were ready for the moment of martyrdom because your short life was given over to daily and heroic self-denial. Your great love of the Sacred Hearts made all this possible. Teach me to love Jesus and His Blessed Mother, so that I, too, will be inspired to daily self-denial. I am inclined to pamper myself, to gratify my senses, and to excuse myself from all penance. This keeps me from being a true follower of Christ. Help me, lovable Little Martyr, to a sincere practice of self-denial, so that I may be your worthy follower and thus gain Heaven for all eternity. Amen.  Sweet Heart of Jesus, be my Love! Sweet Heart of Mary, be my Salvation!
