"Blessed are the clean of heart," says the Lord (Mt 5,8).

Dear St. Maria Goretti, you kept the purity of your heart and body intact for the LORD. Please intercede for us and particularly our young people whose purity is today assailed from the four corners of the world.

I, ______________________, a poor sinner, by the grace of GOD, commit myself this day to praying the Novena to you, St. Maria Goretti, in the intentions of returning our youth to purity and virtue and my own intentions, at least:

_____ once a year

_____ once a month

_____ once every two weeks

_____ perpetually

I understand that this is a freely undertaken commitment, which does not bind me on the penalty of sin, if I should find myself for one reason or another unable to perform this commitment.
