St. Maria Goretti is a book written by Marie Cecilia Buehrle that tells the story of the life and martyrdom of Maria Goretti, an Italian Catholic girl who was canonized as a saint by the Catholic Church. The book explores Maria's humble upbringing in a poor family, her devout Catholic faith, and her unwavering commitment to purity and chastity, which ultimately led to her tragic death at the hands of a would-be rapist. Through vivid and detailed descriptions, the book paints a picture of the social and cultural context of Maria's life, as well as the intense spiritual struggles she faced as a young girl. It also explores the impact of Maria's death on her family, her community, and the wider Catholic Church. Overall, St. Maria Goretti is a powerful and inspiring story of faith, courage, and perseverance in the face of adversity, and a testament to the enduring legacy of one of the Catholic Church's most beloved saints.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
