St. Rita Comments
St. Rita was born at Spoleto, Italy in 1381. At an early age, she begged her parents to allow her to enter a convent. Instead they arranged a marriage for her. Rita became a good wife and mother, but her husband was a man of violent temper. In anger he often mistreated his wife. He taught their children his own evil ways. Rita tried to perform her duties faithfully and to pray and receive the sacraments frequently. After nearly twenty years of ... Continue Reading

I have done novenas to St. Rita to help restore relationships of loved ones that were having challenges. One of the relationships is leading to marriage on 17th December 2011 and the other is going fine now. I am about to do a novena to St. Rita to hel me with a challenge I have in my marriage and I am expecting a miracle that will put smiles on mine and my husband's face. St. Rita, thank you for praying for us.
TRUE STORY : MIRACLES HAPPEN
I am 16 yrs old and my brother is 15. My mom and dad could not get pregnant with a third child. They did invitro and everything. When i was in third grade i did a report on saint rita. i made a little dish soap bottle covered with felt, yarn, googly eyes, and made her look like a nun. in her arms i put two babies. my mom read my report about how she was the patron saint of hopeless causes and so my mom started to pray for her just to see if it would work. on saint rita's feast day the doctors discovered that my mom was pregnant. Since she did invitro she had three fertilized eggs and could've had triplets. one egg was said to have disappeared...the twins were born in january - a boy and a girl. perfectly healthy. my mom believes that it was all because of saint rita. she was bothered that the one egg had disappeared, however.
a year later my mom became pregnant again - with out invitro. the doctors were amazed. my mom believes that she was pregnant with the one that had disappeared. that baby was also born completely healthy. my mom always tell people to pray to saint rita, she does help. she will pray for you if you ask her to.
there is a 10 yr difference between the twins and i and a 12 year difference between emerson and i. prayers do work. miracles do happen. saint rita is the patron saint of not only impossible causes but also of twins. (she had twins - 2 boys)
i thank you for taking the time to read this. God bless
Dear St.Rita please pray for me to our lord that i am able to continue my academic career despite the many obstacles in my way. I have complete faith in your intercession and lay my petition in your hands. I will always praise you and encourage devotion to you. Please help me.
I dreamed of St. Rita last night. A girl came to our house and then I have this feeling that she was her. I have been praying to her intercessions since I learned about her in the convent. And most of them I am so happy to say were heard. Then going back to my dream, she told me that she came to heal my grandmother's pelvic fracture, I was so happy then. But realized that all the illnesses and pain that she heals from my grandmother were being transferred to her. I was literally crying for that. But she remained calm even if pain is already in her face. I was really happy to have her in my dream. She was very sweet and her face was so innocent as I remember.
I am not Catholic, but have learned so much from the faith. I have always been drawn to the faith. Many years ago, I asked Our Lady to interceed for our unborn baby, as I had preterm labor and was on bedrest. Our baby boy was born healthy and well at 37 and a half weeks! The doctor said he looked much older and was fully developed in every way. I recently asked St. Rita to interceed for me in issues with my father. After asking for her help for two days, I spoke with my father and the issues with him were much more positive and improved. (Thank you, St.Rita!) I am asking St. Rita that my husband would agree to learn more about the Catholic Church and we convert. This is a huge request, but I am asking for intercession.

I trust the Lord and His love to you I know if you ask for us He will listen and miracles will happen.I know I do not deserve it but He gives to all without finding fault please St Rita do not abandon me
St. Rita..Please pray for me that my marriage can be reconciled like yours was. I love my ex-wife and want to live forever with her. Please pray and intercede for me to our loving father. In his name I pray.
When things between me and my loved one became so bad that going back to our love story seemed impossible, I was told to pray to Santa Rita, the saint of the impossible.
I had no one else to pray to in my utter desperation.
Although we are not back together yet, I feel that something is happening. I have a feeling that Santa Rita will grant me the biggest wish in my life, that of being reunited to my most beloved spouse.
Please Santa Rita, continue to intercede with God for me, and make me the happiest man in the world, giving me back my loved one.
I have prayed to St. Rita dozens of times. She has answered my prayers. I can truly say that she hears you. Thank you, St. Rita for hearing and granting my prayers. I will continue to pray to you always. Thank you.
For my wee brother that a miracle will work.
I found a prayer card about St. Rita at our parish and began praying to her, not really expecting any outcome because I had never heard of her. Soon afterwards, after many years of difficulty, our son found a wonderful job that has turned his life around. Now my husband has been laid off, and i feel that St. Rita will help us through this difficult time. I wanted to share my gratitude and increased faith with others.
St. Rita, a month ago I started praying to you and you helped me to find a way in our financial difficulties to keep us a float for now so we do not have to face banktrupcy. Thank you and bless you St. Rita.
Now I need to pray to you to please intercede for me and help the other woman my husband is seeing to understand how wrong she is in robbing me of a husband and my children of a father. I pray that my husband might see the light and realize the pure illusion she is and that by running away from troubles you create more troubles in stead of facing them and building a stronger foundation. St. Rita, I pray for my children to give them all strenght, hope and faith and to be strong in all the difficult days to come.
I pray for all who's intentions I have read. St. Rita, pray for all of us and help us to be worthy of your protection and guidance.
I have always heard about the miraculous works of St Rita.I have read her story several times but today I finally understood her story..I will love to get to know more about her and also pray to her.
My dear St Rita I come today with a heavy heart.Please grant my heart wishes,please let my funds be release so I can take care of the many financial obligations and I also.I pray you help me get a job .I promise to testify of your works and tell others about you.Thank you for answering my prayers.
I have prayed for all of you in that one day you will realize I make it come true for you.
St. Rita - I pray and ask for your help for my son- a mistake made but no harm - please let the angels deliver the message to people of his innocence - for he not suffer from a stupid mistake-he has such a good soul and good heart - let his heart be saved and enjoy life he so deserves. Truly a good person that deserves no severe punishment for no harm done.
thank-you so much neededthis info for a school project!!!!! :D
it is very humbling and heart warming to hear the pleas of so many who have such great faith. i have prayed to St. Rita for over 10 years for the health of my daughters. I have been blessed with her help and comfort. I thank God, the Blessed Virgin, St. Gerard, Padre Pio and St. Rita for the blessings we have received and the prayers answered. I continue to ask for the strength they can give me in our time of need. I am ashamed to ask for help due to financial economy when there is so much pain and suffering in the world. I just pray St. Rita will let me feel her strength and be a comfort and guide to me and my family.
God Bless us all.
