Product Description

For this medal as for all Christian symbols it is always advisable to have them blessed by a Priest

Roses

It is said that near the end of her life Rita was bedridden at the convent. While visiting her, a cousin asked if she desired anything from her old home. Rita responded by asking for a rose from the garden. It was January, and her cousin did not expect to find one due to the season. However, when her relative went to the house, a single blooming rose was found in the garden, and her cousin brought it back to Rita at the convent.[ St. Rita is often depicted holding roses or with roses nearby. On her feast day churches and shrines of St. Rita provide roses to the congregation that are blessed by the priest during Mass.

Brief Notes on Saint Rita of Cascia

Patron Saint of impossible cases and also of families, unhappily married wives and widows.

Recurrence May 22nd

Margherita Lotti , (Mother, widow, stigmatized, consecrated nun) name of Saint Rita, was born in Roccaporena (fraction of Cascia) in 1371 or 1381 (the date is not certain). In the particular climate of their time, her parents worked as peacemakers. She marries Ferdinando di Mancino who will be assassinated. Rita forgives her husband's killers, whose names she will never reveal: Rita does not want to trigger a spiral of hatred and she fears that her children may avenge her father who was killed. Left alone around the year 1407, she retired in prayer and matured the desire to become a nun.

The Urn of Saint Rita

A thorn detached from the crucifix sticks into her forehead

In 1432 one day while Rita was absorbed in prayer in front of an image of Christ Crucified she asked to be able to participate in the sufferings of Jesus and she was satisfied. A thorn detached from the crucifix sticks into her forehead, as if a thorn from the crown that encircled Christ's head had detached and penetrated his very flesh. For the next fifteen years she bore this outward sign of union with Christ.

After her death Rita di lei is venerated as protector of the plague because she took care of the plague victims in life without ever contracting the disease. From this derives the title of Saint of Impossible Cases . In the photo: The silver urn that contains the body of Santa Rita kept in the Basilica in Cascia. Medical examinations carried out in 1972 and 1997 confirmed the presence, on the left frontal area, of traces of an exposed bone lesion. She was 1 meter and 57 cm tall.

PRAYER TO SANTA RITA FOR AN IMPOSSIBLE CAUSE

PRAYER TO SANTA RITA FOR AN IMPOSSIBLE CAUSE

Under the weight of the pain, to you, dear Saint Rita, I recreate confident of being granted. Free, I beg you, my poor heart from the distresses that oppress it and restore calm to my spirit, full of troubles. You who were chosen by God to advocate the most desperate cases, impetamate the grace that I ardently ask of you.

If they are an obstacle to my desires, my faults, obtain from God the grace of repentance and forgiveness through sincere confession.

Do not allow tears of bitterness to spread any longer. O holy of the thorn and of the rose, rewards my great hope in you, and wherever I will let you know your great mercies towards the afflicted souls.

O Bride of Jesus Crucified, help me to live well and to die well. Amen.
