St. Rita of Cascia (AD 1386-1456) was an Italian mother and a wife with a difficult marriage, who became an Augustian nun after the violent death of her husband. Already during her life St. Rita was known for her powerful prayers, and today she is honored as the patroness of impossible causes. St. Rita is also considered a stigmatist and was canonized in 1900 by Pope Leo XIII. Cf. Catholic Encyclopedia, Wikipedia

This is a thanksgiving thread for everyone who have felt the grace of St. Rita’s intercession in their life. In case some problem, big or small, found a solution after having recourse to St. Rita of Cascia, please feel free to pay homage to her and Our Lord here. Personally there was a certain important journey with a spiritual topic, which was about to be cancelled due to a difficulty, while after prayers to St. Rita a straightforward and unexpected solution was found.

O Saintly Rita, rose of the Augustinians and ardent devotee of the Passion of Our Lord, please receive this humble thanksgiving for having cared for us in our troubles. We are unworthy that God should hear even our tiniest supplications, yet with friends like you the seemingly impossible becomes reality. May the devotion to your intercession and example spread far and wide, for the greater glory of Christ and His Mother, as well as the whole Holy Catholic Church. St. Rita of Cascia, pray for us!
 
Dear St. Rita has helped me so much. And I am sure that she has helped those for whom I pray. Thank you, St. Rita!

Lord Jesus, how can I express my gratitude to You for having heard the prayer of Your servant Rita, who had recourse to Your great power and love on my behalf. Lord, You have granted my request and I can only try to thank You by satisfying the deepest yearning of Your heart.

You said to Your disciples before offering Your life for us: “I will be with you for a short time. Love one another as I have loved you. In this, all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Yes, Lord Jesus, I will love my neighbor, especially my most needy brothers and sisters and those who suffer most. I will help them and comfort them; this will be my task. I am certain that no other gift of mine could be more pleasing to Your servant and my dear patroness, Saint Rita, who can well be called the saint of fraternal love. For her, earthly life was not sufficient in giving herself in love. She now spends her life with you caring for us in our sorrows and difficulties.

Saint Rita, sweet messenger of divine mercy, I offer praise to our heavenly Father in your honor.

Saint Rita of Cascia, pray for us!

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

†

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.
