She being St. Rita, or course.
I do so love having her as a special patron saint. I am still mystified that God showed me at an early age the life of this marvelous woman and permitted me a devotion to her.
Readers of this blog know well of my special relationship with the saint of the impossible. A few years ago I began publishing posts every so often inviting readers to email me (harvey@harveymillican.com) with their prayer requests. My hope was that someone would see the request and send me their intentions so that I might add it to my perpetual novena prayers to Rita. In the past two years I have been amazed as scores is readers have taken me up on that and I have personally witnessed through follow-up emails “impossible” things being granted. I use quotation marks because we know nothing is impossible with God.
Monday begins another round of nine days of prayer.
Send me your intentions and I will take them up and we will pray together.
She will help.
But do also look into the life of this saint and learn from her. To me, she is more than a patron of impossible causes. She is a model for all those who seek peace.
“Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called sons of God.”
St. Rita of Cascia, patron of the impossible and peacemaker, pray for us!
