She was the only daughter of a mother and father who feared for her well-being. They married her to a young man who was completely opposite from her. He lived a life of sin, drinking and carousing with other women.
She prayed for him, until he finally repented. He was killed by his ex-comrades. His children vowed vengeance on them. Saint Rita prayed that before they committed this act of murder against those who had killed her husband, the Lord would take them.
She stayed by the bedside of both boys as they died. Then, after much struggle, she entered the convent at an advanced age.
She is the Saint of the Impossible. Pray for her intercession.
