July 6 Santa Maria Goretti. Prayer to ask for a grace

O little Maria Goretti, who sacrificed your life to keep your virginity free and who,

dying, you forgave your killer by promising to pray for him from Heaven, help us

overcome ourselves in the difficult path of this world so deeply upset

from the most violent passions. Get us the grace of the purity of the costumes and that of a great

love for our brothers.

You, who came out of a humble peasant family, for your heroic victory over evil and the glorious

martyrdom you flew to Heaven with the aureole of holiness, obtain peace, faith, fruitful work

in a new atmosphere of charity, obtaining for us from the Lord all the necessary graces

for our spiritual and material good, for our earthly and eternal life.

In particular, obtain the grace that is dear to us at the moment .. (express it)

Amen.
