Happy Saint Rita's Day !
-
Have a lovely day everyone
-
I believe she is the patron saint of impossible causes, and abused or heartbroken women. Yay, St, Rita!
-
Yes, she is!
Her symbol is the rose. It is said that as she neared the end of her life, Rita was bedridden from tuberculosis. It was then that she asked a cousin who had come to visit for a rose from the garden in her old home. As it was January, her cousin did not expect to find any roses, but there was a single rose in bloom, which was brought back to Rita at the convent. She died four months later, on May 22, 1457.

O glorious St Rita, pray for us.
Amen
