ST. MARIA GORETTI,
Strengthened by God’s grace,
You did not hesitate,
Even at the age of eleven,
To shed your blood
To sacrifice life itself
To defend your virginal purity.
Deign to look graciously
On the unhappy human race,
Which has strayed far
From the path of eternal salvation.
Teach us all,
And especially the youth,
With the courage and promptness
We should flee anything
That could offend Jesus.
Obtain for me
From God a great horror of sin,
So that, keeping my soul undefiled,
I may live a holy life on earth
And win eternal glory in heaven.
Amen.
