ROMAN INC - SAINT RITA - PATRONESS OF IMPOSSIBLE CAUSES
Figurine comes nicely displayed in a box with a front window, with a prayer on the front and the story of the Saint on the back, and a prayer card inside.
"Prayer to Saint Rita:
O powerful St. Rita, rightly called Saint of the Impossible, I come to you with confidence in my great need. You know well my trials, for you yourself were many times burdened in this life. Come to my help, speak for me, pray with me, intercede on my behalf before the Father. I know that God has a most generous heart and that He is a most loving Father. Join your prayers to mine and obtain for me the grace I desire (mention your request).
You were so very pleasing to God on earth, and are much more so now in heaven, I promise to use this favor, when granted, to better my life, to proclaim God's mercy, and to make you more widely known and loved. Amen."
As a young girl, Rita was very interested in joining Augustinian nuns at Cascia and devoting her life to Christ. However, at age 12 she was betrothed, and she married an abusive man who mistreated her. Her husband died at the hands of enemies, and although Rita’s sons were initially intent upon avenging their father’s death, their hearts were changed because of their mother’s prayers.
After the death of her husband and subsequent deaths of her sons, Rita again felt a calling to religious life. Because some of the sisters were relatives of her husband’s murderers, Rita was denied entry, out of concern that her admission would disrupt the religious community. As with all of the challenges of her life, Rita responded with fervent prayer. Her petitions were answered with a peace that allowed Rita to enter the monastery of St. Mary Magdalen.
For 40 years, Sister Rita spent her time in prayer and charity, and working for a lasting peace in the region. She was devoted to the Passion, and prayed to suffer as Christ did. In response, a wound on her forehead appeared, as if a thorn from Christ's crown pierced her, and remained with her for the rest of her life.
Because she saw her dreams denied and fulfilled through faith and prayer, St. Rita is the patroness of desperate and seemingly impossible situations. She is also the patroness of marriage difficulties and abuse victims.
