Prayer to St. Rita for a Difficult Marriage

St. Rita of Cascia is known as the Patron Saint of Impossible Causes, but that title doesn’t encompass all of her importance in Christian tradition: believers pray to her to rekindle their love for their partners, or to bring peace and harmony to their couple, like she did in her life. St. Rita aspired to follow Christ and become a nun, but she was forced to marry an abusive man. However, she remained humble and patient, and her husband softened over the years. Are you facing difficulties in your marriage? There are many prayers to St. Rita to help you broaden your perspective, consolidate the love in your couple, and face the challenges of your relationship together
