Prayer to St. Rita

O God, who didst vouchsafe to communicate so great grace to Saint Rita that she imitated Thine example in the love of enemies and bore in her heart and on her countenance the sacred marks of Thy love and passion: grant, we beseech Thee, by her merits and intercession, that we may love our enemies and ever contemplate with deep contrition the sorrows of Thy Passion: Who livest and reignest world without end. Amen.

Here is a nice novena to her:

Saint Rita Novena - 9 days

Saint of Impossible Cases

O HOLY PATRONESS of those in need, St. Rita, whose pleadings before thy Divine Lord are almost irresistible, who for thy lavishness in granting favors hast been called the Advocate of the Hopeless and even of the Impossible; St. Rita, so humble, so pure, so mortified, so patient and of such compassionate love for thy Crucified Jesus that thou couldst obtain from Him whatsoever thou askest, on account of which all confidently have recourse to thee, expecting, if not alwavs relief, at least comfort; be propitious to our petition, showing thy power with God on behalf of thy suppliant; be lavish to us, as thou hast been in so many wonderful cases, for the greater glory of God, for the spreading of thine own devotion, and for the consolation of those who trust in thee. We promise, if our petition is granted, to glorify, thee by making known thy favor, to bless and sing thy praises forever. Relying then upon thy merits and power before the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we pray:

pls pray St Rita , that, even it is highly unlkely, the Lord helps ZSOLT, my boyfriend, to calm down. I have unnerved him 5 minutes ago. He was going to work (night shift) and I upheld him by blaming him (partly by right but for a greater part FALSELY - which I did know all along!)

Beg you St Rita - and dear fellows on this list - to pray the Lord keeps Zsolt (30, Hungarian) safe all night, give him calm and care in working and the grace of careful and punctual work, preventing any mistakes, safeguarding him with his saint angels...

PLEASE! Thank you in advance, St. Rita

I have always been short on faith, but I felt I was in almost desperate situation with my relationship. I prayed for clarity, to finally know the truth that has eluded me for the longest time. St. Rita made me a believer again. It was not the answer I had hoped for, the truth hurts so deeply and yet I am at peace that I dound resolution. "Thy will be done." I pray for courage to go through this trying times.
