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.

Pause here for your intention.

May we one day enjoy with thee the imperishable glory of heaven. Amen.

Most lovable little saint, who valued your purity above any earthly gain and who sealed this choice with a martyr's death, obtain for me also a strong love of this virtue. In danger inspire me to repeat with you, "No, it is a sin!" Amen.

Recite the Litany of the Blessed Virgin. Sweet Heart of Jesus, be my love. Sweet Heart of Mary, be my salvation.

Our Father, Who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Glory Be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Saint Mary Goretti, pray for us.
