ST. MARIA GORETTI In Garments All Red by FR. GODFREY POAGE, C.P.

Here is the beautiful true story of Maria’s virtuous life that led to her heroic choice, of the Goretti family’s terrible poverty, Maria’s First Holy Communion, her great maturity in shouldering adult responsibilities, her forgiveness of her murderer, her lingering death, then finally her public elevation to sainthood in 1950-in the presence of her mother, her family and the largest crowd ever before seen at a canonization–over half a million people. People of any age will be inspired by St. Maria Goretti’s purity and love of God which triumphed over her love for life and even over the anonymity of death. Paper.
