I’m a Protestant/evangelical youth pastor, and I’m currently discerning the Catholic Church and its doctrines. I would appreciate any and all prayers for Christ’s wisdom and encouragement during this time. I have a wife and two children to lead to the best of my abilities in Jesus’ name and according to His Gospel. I just want the Truth.

I am also 70 years old. And my middle name is Maria. My mother told me it was because of Maria Goretti. She was canonised only 3 years before my birth. Which was a miracle in itself as my mother and father could not conceive. I knew some of her story, but not all that was just told to me in this video. Thank you Lord that I was chosen to be born. and named Maria. I too cried. Thank you for this video and others in the series. I do know that God wants us to forgive ourselves and others, and to grow during life closer and closer to God. Peter Kreeft tell us we are all called to be saints. St Maria Goretti, pray for us.

My Nonna had a devotion and she wanted me to have the opportunity of visiting such a great saint. She is a great example of how God teaches us to be merciful and forgiving . I met Fr in a church in NY a few years back. He brought a lot of relics from the Vatican . That was such a blessing . Thank you so much Fr Martins.

In Italy there is a Sanctuary to Saint Michael Archangel, in the Region of Apulia, on Mount Gargano, part of the commune of Monte Sant'Angelo. It is a UNESCO site. In the fifth century, Saint Michael the Archangel appeared saying: “I am the Archangel Michael and I am always in the presence of God. The cavern is sacred to me, I have chosen it; I myself am its watchful custodian… [...] WHAT IS ASKED HERE IN PRAYER WILL BE GRANTED. Therefore, go to the mountain and dedicate the grotto to the Christian religion”. If you want go there, enter the Sanctuary and ask the Lord to heal you. God bless

11-yr-old¹ Maria Goretti was operated on-each of her wounds- withOUT anesthesia... and did Not even complain of pain!!! Mind-blowing-and that's on top of forgiving her murderer-for all 14(!!) of her stab wounds (as specially she revealed in the appearance to Alexandro in prison)! St. Maria Goretti pray for us, to forgive as we should. ¹ Even younger, St. Jacinta of Fatima was operated on withOUT anesthesia-and offered it up for saving souls from hell. (Our Lady asked her earlier If she'd be willing to endure more sufferings by dieing alone without family or friends.) St. Jacinta of Favłtima pray for us- especially for those in most need.

This is such an intense and important film of a saint! It takes you into the past and makes you feel like you are there…living the moments of St. Maria Goretti. The film contains actual shots of Italy where Maria lived and died. The camera angles, shots and audio immerse you into the story. There is a filming phrase called ‘Hitchcockian‘(from the famous filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock). The camera angels make the viewer feel the emotions of anxiety and sometimes fear. This film has that! (i.e., Slowly walking up the steps to Maria’s room; a floor level shot of the door opening, etc.). The addition of the super narration, which was clear and descriptive, keeps your attention from the start till finish. Thank you for showing us the significant life of St. Maria Goretti.

I have loved St. Maria Goretti since I was a teenager. I looked up to her for her purity. When I was seriously ill, someone loaned me a relic of St. Maria Goretti to help me. Now I am turning to her to help me forgive many difficult traumas. Thank you for this powerful video. It's the best and most comprehensive one I have seen. You told her story so brilliantly. St. Maria Goretti is such a special saint to emulate.

I cried so hard watching this, I'm still crying. Thank you. ❤ So true, forgiveness of oneself is most important. From that flows forgiveness of others. And forgiveness of others is actually for ourselves, we must eventually let go of all that is in our hearts and minds and souls that is not love. Only then can we be free to be our true selves. BTW, I was raised Roman Catholic, educated by nuns. I made my first Communion at age 8. In preparation, we were told to invite Jesus to dwell in our hearts. I did, and felt the undeniable and unmistakable presence of Jesus in my heart. He is still with me ever since and forever. That same year, we watched a movie about Maria Goretti. I was moved, but your video affected me so deeply. Several years ago, I also asked Archangel Michael to help me and be with me. I felt him do so, and he has appeared very vividly to me while I sleep and totally transformed me. He is also with me always. I am very fortunate that martyrdom is not required of me, the fortitude of Maria Goretti is unique. It makes me especially grateful for, and appreciate, the long and happy life I have, and strengthens my resolve to be worthy of it. ❤

Awesome story. Awesome truth about forgiveness. To think the casted leg in this video was also healed with a miracle in the same way as the first construction worker. Along with the cancerous leg. When the video was made they needed to find someone with a crushed foot. They found someone, but not only someone, a devout believer and trusting young man, who also had his foot restored to perfection through Christ and the intercession of Maria. You just can't make it up.

This true stopped me in my tracks and has got me thinking deeply - simply incredible - what a wonderful little girl - to think of all the life-changing challenges & suffering she’d been through in her short life BEFORE she was brutally attacked and then what she was capable of doing during and after the attack… incomprehensible no matter how one thinks about it, it could be said she was a saint right from the beginning of her remarkable life. Wonderful to watch this video brought me to tears several times - thank you, will try to live life differently from now onwards.

I honestly believe that a greater example of the Mercy of God would be to respect and value girls and women, thereby stopping abuse or protecting them from abusers. Please do not be offended.
@AllAboutTruth9 ай бұрын
@@kimkelly7 That is not an example of mercy; that's an example of decorum. Mercy is all about forgiveness towards an offense done to you. This is why St Maria Goretti in this case showed the perfect example of God's mercy: she forgave and fought for the salvation of the soul of her would-be rapist who stabbed her to death 14 times.
@kimkelly79 ай бұрын
@@AllAboutTruth I really do see it the life Saint Maria, an abused child very differently. Sanctification of an abused child as l see it is side stepping the issues of abuse , proverty and the powerless of girls and women. Respecting, valuing and protecting girls and women is very, very much more than decorum. The Mercy of God is wonderful and forgiveness is a great and glorious virtue to achieve. It might honour Saint Maria better to address the issues of abuse, proverty and powerfuless of girls and women. That might be part of loving your neighbour as yourself.
@AllAboutTruth9 ай бұрын
@@kimkelly7 St Maria Goretti saw life in a supernatural way, not just as a social justice issue. God was at center. Sacrifice is part of worship. She knew there was life after this wretched place. She understood that to be saved, one has to die to oneself in the same way as Christ suffered and died for our salvation through the Passion of the Cross followed by His Resurrection. There is no salvation without the cross. The issue of the abuse of women (and of men also, by the way) is essentially an issue of SIN. The more you live apart from Jesus, the more the individual and society disintegrates and collapses. St Maria Goretti - at 11 years old - because she has always lived a life of spiritual understanding, with wisdom way beyond her age, loved even the most monstrous of human beings, in this case her would-be rapist and murderer. She knew that MERCY FOR SIN is the DIVINE POWER that could transform a rotten soul into a saintly soul, not through a social justice lecture. Her model was Jesus Christ Himself. And true enough, her murderer was converted, turned his life around, and is now a candidate himself for sainthood. MERCY IS FORGIVENESS. Your advocacy for protection of women must emanate from an understanding of God's value for human life in general. Educate humanity properly about God and you will produce a society respectful of ALL human beings. The goal is to stop SIN. That was the mindset of St Maria Goretti. And from there came her understanding of God's mercy.
@kimkelly79 ай бұрын
Addressing the wider and deeper issues would be facing up to sinfulness. On Futher reflection, it very troubling that the fact Maria Goretti was a child, an ABUSED CHILD is the very fact that many people seemed to want to minimise; along with obliteration of the self evident fact of misogyny. Child abuse and misogyny are evil sins.

This is well worth your time to watch. You certainly will be moved by this short video. My wife, Joy, and I have been blessed to see and to touch her casket/reliquary when it came to Tulsa. We went early in the evening to a packed mass celebrating St. Maria Goretti at Holy Family Cathedral in downtown Tulsa, and we prayed for her intercession for several hours, from midnight till after 2am at the Cathedral while it was open for 24 hours to venerate St. Maria. Joy and I were there alone praying with St. Maria for quite some time and have some 3rd Class relics we pressed against her reliquary that we greatly venerate.
