Maria was a 12 year old girl who was stabbed to death by her roommate because she refused to be intimate with him. As she lay dying, she said she forgave him and wanted him to be with her in heaven.
She is a role model for the entire world because she lived forgiveness to an incomparable degree.
She is considered the patron saint of young people and represents the virtue of purity.
