11 – The Relics

A delegation from the Shrines of Saint Maria Goretti in Italy carrying her relics arrived in Lebanon on September 21, 2022.

They visited Lebanon to participate in the inauguration of the Saint’s shrine on September 24, 2022.

These are first- class relics taken from the body of the saint. The back of these relics bears the stamp of the Passionists (Congregation of the Passion of Jesus Christ). These priests are entrusted with the body of Maria Goretti which lies in the Basilica of Our Lady of Graces in Nettuno, Italy.

He loves, He hopes, He waits. Our Lord prefers to wait Himself for the sinner for years rather than keep us waiting an instant.
