This young Saint came to my attention and i am totally speechless of how much she was capable to forgive her attacker and even wishing him to go in heaven with her.

Here is a prayer and the link

**Official Prayer to St. Maria Goretti **

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.
 
One of my favorite saints! I got my driver’s license on her feast day many years ago. Everytime I get behind the wheel I think of her. I have always prayed that my daughters would follow in her foot steps instead of in mine.
 
Every time I feel resentment or unforgiveness toward someone, I think of her and the fact that she forgive someone who tried to rape her and stabbed her to death. Before she died, she told her mother that she wanted her killer to be in heaven with her. If she did that, then I realize I need to forgive who ever too. thanks for bringing her up and sharing this.
 
My patron saint - I was born one day shy of her feast day. She is also the patron saint of my family’s homeschool. Pray for her help in rough situations.

Saint Maria Goretti…

Pray for us!

I always include her in my regular and much-needed prayers for purity, chastity, holiness and self-control.
 
When I was young I admired her and so wanted to be like her…to die rather than have sex before I was married…in so many ways and reasons I feel I fell so short of that…I still admire her and love her and now days I just thank her for being such a good example for me then and now…St. Maria Gorettie, thank you and pray for us.
