The Saint of the Month
Rita of Cascia (1381-1457)
Feast Day: May 22
She is patron of impossible cases and people in
difficult marriages.
Heavenly Father, in your infinite love and mercy
you heed the prayer of your beloved servant Rita.
You graciously grant favors through her
intercession which are considered impossible
through human skill and effort. Relying on her
compassionate love, we ask you to assist us in our
trials and difficulties. Let everyone know that you
are the helper of the humble, the defender of the
weak, and the strength of those who trust in you.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
