"unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains a single grain. but if it dies, it will yield a rich harvest"
children always capture our hearts. our compassion comes to the fore when a child dies tragically. this is what captivates us still about maria goretti. she forgave her murderer after he attempted to rape her and was part of his conversion in jail when she appeared to him in a dream.
just as revenge breeds revenge; forgiveness breeds forgiveness
maria goretti is the patron saint of young women and victims of rape. we pray for their healing of mind body and soul
