PRAYER TO HOLY RITA
Glorious Saint Rita, you who participated wonderfully in the painful suffering of our Lord Jesus Christ, receive us to live the pains of this life with love, and help us in all our needs. For Christ, our Lord. Amen
Patron saint of impossible cases and also of families, unhappily married wives and widows. Repeat on May 22
Margherita Lotti (mother, widow, stigmatised, consecrated woman) named Santa Rita was born in 1371 or 1381 (the date is not certain) in Roccaporena (part of Cascia). In the special climate of their time, the parents conducted the activity of Frie. Denspenspenspens. She marries Ferdinando di Mancino, who is murdered. Rita forgives her husbands killers, whose name she will never reveal: Rita does not want to trigger a hate spiral and fears that her children might avenge her killed father. Around the year 1407, she retreated to prayer and matured the desire to become a nun.
One day in 1432, when Rita had sunk into prayer before a picture of the crucifixed Christ, she asked to participate in the sufferings of Jesus, and she was satisfied. A thorn detached from the crucifix pierces into the forehead, as if a thorn had loosened from the crown that surrounded the head of Christ and penetrated into his own flesh. For the next fifteen years, she carried this outer sign of allegiance with Christ. After her death, Rita was revered as a protector of the plague as she took care of the plague victims during her life without ever infecting herself with the disease. From this is the title "Saint of the Impossible Cases". In the photo: The silver urn containing the body of Santa Rita stored in the Basilica of Cascia. Medical examinations in 1972 and 1997 confirmed the presence of traces of exposed bone lesion in the left forehead area. It was 1 metre and 57 cm tall.

I, dearest Saint Rita, hear how all call on your beautiful name. Everyone turns to you. I also want to be in the number of your devotees. From that day on, I choose you to be my special protector and intercessor. I will announce you my spiritual and temporal needs, and you, as a loving mother, will give you to my prayers. May Gods grace make me similar to you in the love of the Crossed Jesus. Challenge me to imitate all your virtues: out of contempt of the world, its goods, and deceptive pleasures, out of love for God and for the next. Give me obedience, chastity, humility, the spirit of patience and devotion to the divine will. You also take care of my time needs. Let God give me what is necessary to achieve my ultimate goal; and if it pleases the Most High, get me all those goods that may be useful and necessary to me.
Father, be greeted, honor
