The beautiful, true story of the 12-year-old girl who in 1902 died a martyr to preserve her purity. Describes her virtuous life, poverty, holiness, valiant resistance, heroic and lingering death, conversion of her murderer and canonization in 1950 with her mother, her murderer and over 500,000 present. This is the famous, popular, classic biography! This is a good book to read to children, so they have someone worthwhile to imitate. By having Maria put before them as a model, they will learn to appreciate the virtue of purity.

A wonderful little book about a great Saint of our times

This is a short but powerful account of the life, martyrdom, and subsequent Canonization of St. Maria Goretti. Father Poage's descriptive style places the reader deep into the midst of her story, making one feel as if one had experienced the events firsthand. The remarks of Pope Pius XII at her Beatification and Canonization are an invaluable addition to this book, as are the novena and other prayers to the saint. Whether you already have a devotion to St. Maria Goretti, or are learning about her for the first time, I highly recommend this book.
