A young man attempted to assault her, and when she refused and said it would be a sin, he stabbed her multiple times. As she lay dying, Maria forgave her attacker and said she wanted to see him in heaven. Her forgiveness was so powerful that her attacker, Alessandro, experienced a complete conversion in prison. Years later, he attended her canonization ceremony. Maria shows us that even children can be heroes of faith and that forgiveness can transform the hardest hearts. Reflection: How can Saint Maria Goretti's example of extraordinary courage and forgiveness inspire young people to make brave choices for good, even when it's difficult or costly?
