St. Maria Goretti performed a thoughtful miracle *act*

She was the Saint of Rape Victims as she has victimed one.

Her story:

Maria was a young Italian girl whose 20-year-old neighbor, Alessandro, wanted to "do wrong with her." She said no, because it was a sin against God. So he stabbed her 14 times. Maria was taken to the hospital where she lay in pain for two days. She forgave Alessandro on her deathbed, "for the love of Jesus" and so that he could be with her in Heaven.

So from the story, it is obvious that she did do a justly act forgiving her own murderer Alessandro for the love of Jesus and prayed for God to put Alessandro in Heaven with her.

Hope this Helped.
