PRAYER TO SAINT RITA OF CASCIA (PATRON SAINT OF IMPOSSIBLE CAUSES) 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: (Share your request…) You who were so very pleasing to God on earth and are so much more now in heaven, I promise to use this favour, when granted, to better my life, to proclaim God’s mercy, and to make you more widely known and loved. Amen.
