Saint Rita Novena - Day 7

Main post image

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Heavenly Father, you gave us St. Rita as an example of holiness and courage. She shared in Jesus' passion when she received a wound on her head from the crown of thorns. Help us to be holy like St. Rita. We wish to be strengthened in difficult times so that we may understand the paschal mystery as St. Rita did.

Holy St. Rita, you were a shining example of what a true Christian should be; generous to everyone spiritually and materially.

Please teach us to love God and everyone around us as you did. We do not want to be selfish but instead to be a true Christian like you.

St. Rita, you are the patron of the impossible. In our times of need and suffering we fly to you with confidence because you are close with the Lord. You were greatly burdened during your life and you know what we are going through now. We offer our prayers for relief, please hear and bring our intentions to the Lord.


(Mention your intentions here and the special intention of I.

 

St. Rita, example of Christian love. Pray for us. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

You may say a few decades of Hail Mary's or a complete rosary.

Prayer to Saint Rita

O holy Rita, advocate of desperate causes, I appeal to your miraculous gift that Jesus Christ our Lord has entrusted to you by stigmatizing you with the thorn. O glorious holy Rita, I leave it to you and implore your charity and kindness to take care of my desperate case. Saint Rita, protector of the needy, ease my spirit. Saint Rita, anchor of salvation, lighten the load on my shoulders. Saint Rita, daisy of Paradise, open my hands. Saint Rita, chosen by Heaven, change my gaze. Saint Rita, model of purity, dry my tears. Saint Rita, advocate of desperate causes, listen to my prayer. O blessed Saint Rita, I call on you today and I will call on you tomorrow. May your benevolence intercede for me with the Lord so that he protects me and guides me. Saint Rita, advocate of desperate causes, pray for me. Amen.

Thank you! 284 people prayed
