The Feast of St. Maria Goretti - Daily Gospel Reflection

Today is the feast of St. Maria Goretti, the Gospel reading is Matthew 9:14-17. Maria Goretti did not grow up "well off", but she had a great faith, living in the difficult situations in our life. In a moment of fear, when she was being assaulted, she trusted in God. As a martyr, she is a great witness to trusting in God’s mercy.

In the Gospel today, Jesus instructs us to keep maintain the newness of the Gospel in our lives. Keeping it “fresh” each and every day, never waning in our commitment to it.

St. Maria Goretti, pray for us!

Praised Be Jesus Christ!
