Happy Feast Day St Rita-St Rita Pray for Us

[audreyh002]

Had the most Nancy Drew night of my life locked in a bathroom for 6 hours when the doorknob fell off after I shut the door. Tried everything I could find in the bin to wedge the bolt, did SOS with the lights hoping someone would see, curled up like a cat on the bathmat trying to get some sleep (spoiler alert: it did not work) and at some point around 3am I realized it was St Rita’s feast day and was like well fuck

St Rita of Casia 🌸

[portraitsofsaints]

Saint Rita of Cascia 1381-1457 Feast Day: May 22 Patronage: lost and impossible causes, sickness, wounds, marital problems, 

St. Rita was married at an early age to a man described as cruel and harsh. They had two sons. After her husband was killed and both sons died, she entered the Augustinians in their convent at Cascia. She earned fame for her austerity, devotion to prayer, and charity. She received visions and wounds on her forehead which resembled the crown of thorns. She died on May 22 at Cascia, and many miracles were reported instantly.

You know you've gone too far down a rabbit trail when you get a YouTube ad for a Catholic saint and you're literally Baptist.

It was a rap song about St. Rita, and for the life of me I can't find it again despite this incident happening over a year ago and the song is still stuck in my head.

The beautifully carved statue of st rita, she is carved from a large piece of natural marble, her size is very suitable for outdoor use! People put her on the square as a monument! We can customize large-scale marble statues. Our artists have rich experience in making large-scale sculptures.

What saints do you know a lot about? Can you share what you know about them?

I know "a lot" about St. Anne [though admittedly there isn't much about her but Tradition] and I know a lot about St. Paul, because he is my homie. I also know the story of St. Rita because I went to a catholic school and church named after her growing up, and I still remember her story. Since that's the only one really interesting to tell I'll talk about that. My facts might be slightly off because it's been a hot minute since I read up on her but mostly just the timeline of how things happened is a little off.

So basically, she wanted to be a nun, but her parents said no, she needed to marry. She tried going to some Augustinian nuns but they said no, and denied her 3 times. She eventually got married and had twin sons. Her husband was part of like, the mafia or a gang and got killed by some rivals. Her sons, having grown up but still being kind of young [I think 15 or 16], wanted to avenge their father, but ended up killed in the process. Now, with no children and no husband, St. Rita went back to the convent and asked to be admitted, which she was. She soon started having visions, one in which she received a thorn in her forehead making her a stigmatic. She also had a miracle done while she was alive through the Blessed Virgin Mary. In the middle of winter she asked for a rose to be brought to her, and told whoever it was that she wanted to bring it to her exactly where she could find it. The woman went and looked, thinking if there was even a bush there it would be dead, but it was a new rose in full bloom in the middle of December or January [roses in the northern hemisphere bloom around now, which is June].

I dont remember what she died from, typhoid fever or something like that I think?
