The Next Novena To “The Little Saint of Great Mercy”

New here? Join us in prayer! Click here to get novena reminders by email!

-The saint is a sinner who keeps on trying.- (1)While it’s still the Year of Mercy, we thought this next novena might be very appropriate: a novena to, “the little saint of great mercy.”

The next novena we will pray is The Novena to St. Maria Goretti!

We will start praying on Monday, June 27th. 

This will be a first for us as we’ve never prayed this novena before, but we have received so many requests for it over the years that we felt called to pray it during this Year of Mercy.

St. Maria Goretti is the youngest canonized saint in the Church. When she was canonized in 1950, more people attended her canonization Mass than any other at that point in time.

And when you learn more about her story, it’s not hard to understand why…

Maria died when she was only 11 years old after her neighbor attempted to rape her, and after her refusing, he brutally stabbed her numerous times.

She died the next day, but not before saying these last words:

“I forgive Alessandro Serenelli (her attacker)… and I want him with me in heaven forever.”

St. Maria is known as the Patroness of Purity. She’s also the patron of the youth and rape victims. It’s been said that her greatest virtue was giving forgiveness to her attacker even in the midst of suffering horrible physical pain. Therefore, she’s known for her intercession for mercy, forgiveness and love. 

St. Maria Goretti is also known as a miracle & wonder-worker. 

We hope you will join us in praying this novena!

That’s also where you can learn more about St. Maria Goretti, her story, and how her forgiveness and mercy eventually led to the conversion of her attacker.

We’re looking forward to praying with you and for you!

God bless you!

Annie & John-Paul

    • This is a novena that men particularly need in this age of rampant pornography and the prevalent pernicious double standard towards men that allows and permits them to get away with sexuality deviant thinking, desires and actions to their own and others moral and spiritual detriment. Sacred heart of Jesus, make our hearts, desires and thoughts like unto thine. Saint Maria Garetti, blessed Mother Mary and our particular guardian angles, pray for us. Our Father, who is in heaven, holy is Your Name. Give us this day our daily bread and what we each particularly need over and above what we ask for. And, forgive us our trespasses and depts as we forgive others. And, lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Amen.
