PRAYER TO ST.

RITA
for impossible cases & special needs

O Holy Patroness of those in need, St. Rita, whose pleadings before thy Divine Lord are
almost irresistible, who for thy lavishness in granting favors hast been called the
Advocate of the HOPELESS ​and even of the IMPOSSIBLE; St. Rita, so humble, so
pure, so mortified, so patient and of such compassionate love for the 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. We promise, if our petition is granted, to glorify thee by making known thy favor,
to bless and sing thy praises forever. Relying then upon thy merits and power before
the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we pray thee grant that ​(here mention your request)​.

By the singular merits of thy childhood, ​obtain for us our request.

By thy perfect union with the Divine Will, ​obtain for us our request.

By thy heroic sufferings during thy married life, ​obtain for us our request.

By the consolation thou didst experience at the conversion of thy husband, ​obtain for
us our request.

By the sacrifice of thy children rather than see them grievously offend God, ​obtain for
us our request.

By the severe penances and trice daily scourgings, ​obtain for us our request.

By the suffering caused by the wound thou didst receive from the thorn of thy Crucified
Savior, ​obtain for us our request.

By the divine love which consumed thy heart, ​obtain for us our request.

By that remarkable devotion to the Blessed Sacrament, on which alone thou dost exist
for four years, ​obtain for us our request.
By the happiness with which thou didst part from thy trials to join thy Divine Spouse,
obtain for us our request.

By the perfect example you gavest to people of every state of life, ​obtain for us our
request.

Pray for us, O holy St. Rita, ​that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.

Let us pray:
O God, Who in Thine infinite tenderness hast vouchsafed to regard the prayer of Thy
servant, Blessed Rita, and dost grant to her supplication that which is impossible to
human foresight, skill and efforts, in reward of her compassionate love and firm reliance
on Thy promise, have pity on our adversity and succor us in our calamities, that the
unbeliever may know Thou art the recompense of the humble, the defense of the
helpless, and the strength of those who trust in Thee, through Jesus Christ, Our Lord.
Amen​.
