Dear Saint Maria Goretti! The world teaches that we must please others
in order to be popular. Conscience demands that I please God more than
one who asks an evil thing in the name of false love. Teach me by your
example to instill into others a real respect for modesty and purity.
Through your powerful intercession, help me to make of this evening an
occasion for helping others to become spiritually stronger. Grant that
others may see in me reason to change their ways, if that be
necessary, and that I may have the courage to resist any temptation to
sinful conduct. Let others be led closer to Jesus and Mary by my
example.
Oh
Little Saint who wanted to be popular only with your Divine Master and
His Blessed Mother, help me to imitate you. Amen.
Our
Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father, etc.
St. Maria Goretti, pray for us!

Prayer Before a Date
Dear Little Saint Maria Goretti! Teach me that God must be my first
love and that all other love is based on Him and Him alone. Obtain for
me the grace to cease toying with the occasions of sin and to remember
that my body and the bodies of all in grace are temples of the Holy
Spirit, destined someday for a glorious resurrection.
Through your beautiful example, teach me the value and dignity of
Christian modesty. Grant that I may never be the occasion of dragging
others into Hell, by suggestive words or evil deeds of any kind.
Through the merits of your Martyrdom, obtain for me the grace to turn
aside from sin, no matter what the cost, so that one day I may enjoy
Heaven with you and all the other saints. Amen.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father, etc.
St. Maria Goretti, pray for us!

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.
Our Father, Hail Mary, Glory be to the Father, etc.
St. Maria Goretti, pray for us!
