Feast of St. Maria Goretti

Today is the feast of St. Maria Goretti. She was a martyr who died rather than give in to a rapist as she shouted "God does not want it. It is a sin." She died when she was only 11 years old after forgiving her murderer.

Amazingly, her perpetrator was visited by her spirit when he was in prison which resulted in his complete conversion and repentance. You can read more about her at
