A New Heart:

Belief in the Gospel is not simply a catechetical knowledge of its doctrine; no, it is an inner revolution. It is a decision to allow the Spirit to break our heart and to plant deep within us a new heart. When we express that new heart to others, it overflows with the truth and grace of the heart of Christ himself.

Not all of us are expected to die a martyr's death, but we are all called to the pursuit of Christian virtue.

- Pope Pius XII on Saint Maria Goretti (1890-1902)


Even if she had not been a martyr, she would still have been a saint, so holy was her everyday life

- Cardinal Salotti on Saint Maria Goretti (1890-1902)
