Saint Rita of Cascia/Saint of the Impossible

The first time I ever heard of Saint Rita was in the 2002 movie, “The Rookie.”

Saint Rita, along with St. Jude, is known as the patron Saint of desperate cases.

She lived from 1377 to 1437.

She wanted to become a nun, but in deference to her parents, she married.

Her husband was violent and unfaithful.  She endured her husband’s insults

And infidelities.  They had 2 sons.  After 18 years, her husband was murdered.

Her sons subsequently died too.

She then become a nun.  She is known for her holiness and miracles.  She is also

Known as the Saint of matrimonial difficulties.

So if you need the impossible, or are in need of a miracle in your marriage,

She might be a good place to start.

Today is her feast day.
