History
Rita begged her parents to
let her enter the convent, but they found her a husband instead. Rita did her
best to be a good wife and mother, even though her husband frequently got angry
and became very mean to her. Whether on purpose or not, he taught their sons to
be mean to her, too. Then Rita’s husband was fatally wounded in a fight. Before
he died, he became a Christian because of Rita’s prayers. Then Rita spent her
days in fasting, prayer and doing good works. In time, she because an
Augustinian nun.
Activity
Saint Rita thought that
her husband would never believe in Christ, but he did. She also thought she
would never become a nun, but that happened too. Now she is a patron saint of
impossible causes. Today, ask Saint Rita to pray for the “impossible” thing you’ve
been praying for.
