I am grateful to have this beautiful information about St Maria and I knowing such encouraging news will not leave me the same as a youth. Peace and Love of God be with you now and for ever.
i believe she one of the most amazing people ever!
what touched me most was her matured character even at her age.everyone on the farmland was proud of her. By her death things changed at the farmland: the mean farm owner's attitude towards his wife and laboreres, and the young priest encouragement in his choice of vocation. What an example for all class of people!
I am happy to learn more about St. Maria Goretti. Am going to teach about her life to the children in my class in the church.
