SAINT MARIA GORETTI NOVENA PRAYER

Child of God,
You who at an early age knew life’s harshness and toil, its sorrows and brief joys;
You who were poor, an orphan, who loved your neighbour tirelessly, making yourself a humble and attentive servant;
You who were kind and good, without pride, who loved Love above all else;
You who shed your blood so as not to betray the Lord;
You who forgave your assassin wishing him in Paradise;
Intercede and pray for us to the Father, so that we may consent to his holy will for us.
You who are God’s friend and see him face to face obtain the grace we are seeking from you…
(state your intention here)
We thank you Maria, for the love of God and neighbour that you have sown in our hearts. Amen.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, be my Love!
Immaculate heart of Mary, be my salvation!
St. Maria Goretti, Virgin and Martyr, pray for us!
