![]() ![]() We pray for all those fleeing from or experiencing domestic violence. Relying then upon thy merits before the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we pray thee obtain for us our request for those trapped in a difficult marriage and those experiencing domestic violence (now, mention your particular intentions). Glorious St Rita, you lived for many years with a difficult husband at a time when there was no escape. Rita found herself stuck in a difficult marriage and she resorted to prayer. We are told that as a young wife, Rita was able to ease the stress and worry her husband experienced by her prayer, patience, and affection… As a Christian, when stuck in a difficult home, where do you resort to? Do you ease the stress and worry faced by your husband/wife/children/parents/or those you’re living with by a means of prayer? By her prayer, patience, and affection, however, Rita was able to ease the stress and worry her husband experienced, but she was not able to shield him altogether from the dangers to which society exposed him. ![]() As a minor official of the town, Paolo often found himself drawn into the conflict, and the strain that this caused probably accounts for the tension, which he sometimes brought into the Mancini household. In Cascia, as elsewhere, a great rivalry existed between two popular political factions, the Guelphs, and the Ghibellines. Rita found herself occupied with the typical concerns of a wife, mother, and homemaker of Roccaporena, while Paolo was employed as a watchman for the town. The young couple was joined in marriage and soon twin boys were born to them. Saint Rita, so humble, so pure, so mortified, so patient and of compassionate love for thy Crucified Jesus that thou couldst obtain from him whatsoever thou askest, on account of which all confidently have recourse to thee, expecting, if not always relief, at least comfort be propitious to our petition, showing thy power with God on behalf of thy suppliant be lavish to us, as thou hast been in so many wonderful cases, for the greater glory of God, for the spreading of thine own devotion, and for the consolation of those who trust in thee. O Holy Patroness of those in need, Saint Rita, whose pleadings before thy Divine Lord are almost irresistible, who for thy lavishness in granting favours hast been called the Advocate of the hopeless and even of the Impossible. Alleluia!Ĭome, chaste virgins pure brides, draw near: As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. ![]() Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. ![]()
