St. Maria Goretti was not even 12 years old when she faced the choice to either sin or die. She chose death, and after her martyr's death she was elevated to sainthood in 1950 at a ceremony in front of over 500,000 people. Read this story of her life, her maturity, and her forgiveness which helped her live a life of love for God.
