St. Maria Goretti, your devotion to God and Mary was so strong that you were able to offer your life rather than lose your virginal purity.  Help all of us, beset by so many temptations in this modern world, to imitate your youthful example.  Intercede for us all, especially youth, that God may give us the courage and strength we need, to avoid anything that could offend Him or stain our souls.  Obtain for us from our Lord victory in temptation, comfort in the sorrows of life and the grace which we sincerely ask of you (insert daily intention).
