Heavenly Father, Through the intercession of St. Rita, patroness of the impossible, I bring before You my desperate need. You blessed her with unwavering faith and patience in the face of great trials. Inspired by her example, I ask for her prayers to support me in my time of distress.

St. Rita, you who knew the pain of life’s struggles and yet trusted in God’s plan, please join your prayers with mine for this intention (mention your request). Guide me to remain steadfast in hope and faith, trusting in God’s perfect will.

Help me to surrender my fears and doubts, believing that with God, nothing is impossible. May your powerful intercession bring the peace and resolution I seek, according to His divine plan.

St. Rita, advocate of the hopeless, pray for me.    Amen.

Feast Day is May 22nd
