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

Dearest Saint Rita
MY husband is verbally abusive and lately it's been getting worse.
He now swears and screams names at me in front of my kids when he is angry.
I beg of you; if not for me, for the children. Please find a way to calm him and save my children from growing up in this environment.
Help him to see the damage he is causing and please save my children from hearing his profanities and arguments.
Help my marriage so we can show only live to our kids. Help us set a better example of how a marriage should be
Please Saint Rita I have never asked you for anything before, but would hope that you could help my husband with his back. Helping me figure how to pay the bill would be appreciated.
Emilie - if you can read this I just wanted to say your post made me think of my situation. I've been praying for so long too, for around 10 months for my darling F to open his heart to me. It was around July last year that things fell apart. Before this he used to always thank me for bringing him back to life, I helped him out of a lot of depression and darkness (and I know he blamed himself for it all), although I could always still sense a wall of pain and I could never seem to break through it to help him. He always doubted himself. Suddenly, he pulled away from me, saying he realized his head was still stuck in his past and then blaming himself again, saying he doesn't deserve me etc.
I know in my heart he wishes he could escape this darkness again, that he could bring down his wall and allow himself to be loved again. If he just took that one little chance to open his heart to me he'd experience the kind of love he deserves. What makes this even more challenging is this was a long distance relationship, communication plays such an important part and we would communicate so well but now, when he does happen to contact me, I can sense sadness, but when I try to reach out to him and respond, he disappears again.
I have prayed hard to St Jude, St Anthony, St Joseph, St Clare and said many other Novenas, every single day over this time. Now I ask St Rita too, to bring forward my requests. I truly believe her intercession will be particularly powerful. I just have a special feeling about her. I hope with all my heart the addition of her prayers will finally help my miracle be granted.
The last time I heard from F was just before Easter. I'm now feeling more desperate and heartbroken and helpless than ever before. This weekend in particular has been torturous and my mind conjuring up all kinds of things. I'm starting to find moments where I am so close to losing hope and just giving up but when I come onto these sites and read people's thanksgivings it tells me that if I feel strong enough about something and my heart still wants this miracle so much, to persevere and not give up. I think it's moments like this that challenge us to persevere in prayer, when things seem they are becoming even more impossible and unreachable. I believe then if we continue to have faith and hope through these most difficult moments, that miracles can still be granted! I want my darling F to finally contact me with the words I need to hear, to soften his heart, to open his eyes to see me for who I truly am, the person he knows I am, and to open his mind to allow loving thoughts banish his self-doubts and depression... and that we can work towards something again. I cannot wait to have tears of joy flow down my face instead of these constant tears of pain and heartache.
Love is patient, kind, always hopes and always perseveres - so I am continuing to pray ceaselessly. I hope your prayers shall be answered!
Please pray that my husband will love me. There is a huge wall between us and I am unable to reach out to him.
Preparing to visit USA for the birth of my first grandchild. St Rita you know my predicament. Please intercede for me to get a visa so that I will be present when the baby is born.
Dear Saint Rita,
Please intercede for us and help us find the right school for our autistic son. I hope that a place becomes available in the school we wish to get him into in our area. Please hear my novena and come to my aid for the sake of our son. May you always help and guide my family and bring us closer to the Lord Jesus. Amen
I would like to greatly thank saint Rita for hearing My prayer And hope that she will continue to help me as I will continue to pray with l losts of love an faith. Thank you saint Rita for all your help.
Over the past 18 months my family were caught up in what can only be described as A terrible nightmare which could have ended up in a lengthy jail sentence for two of them. Dreadful false accusations were made which we saw no way to prove wrong.
I knew nothing of St Rita until I saw her feast day on a calendar that I receive every year from St.Antony's messenger.
For almost 18 months I prayed on a daily basis to St Rita asking for her intervention, and I can't give enough thanks for her help. The accused persons were in court recently and found NOT GUILTY. Thanks be to God.
If you have the truth on your side and your situation seems impossible to put right, do not give up. St Rita has given my family members there lives back, and I am so ecstatic that I found her when I did.
God Bless

Dear St. Rita,
Currently I'm struggling with a constant anxiety and fear of my exam results. I had done some mistakes which I shouldn't have and I'm worried, since it is my final year that my results will not be very good and thus affect my chances of getting into the career I want to as well as result in arguments with my parents. I ask of you to intercede for me in this time for suffering and help me to overcome these adversities. Thankyou St. Rita, and I sincerely come to you for assistance. In Jesus and Mary's name, I beseech thee to help me.
Thank you for everything St. Rita especially in granting our request. Life has been good especially when we moved to this new place. Thank God.
St. Rita, Thank you for always being there for me and answering my prayers. You have helped me out through so many times. Please continue to help me get through the struggles in school and the financial aspect of it. Please let the worries and the stress go away and give me the strength to get through all my difficulties. I promise to give back and honor you and our Lord forever. Amen.
