Last week I visited a friend with my wife. While she and my wife talked I overheard a bit of the conversation and realized something. “Wait, did St. Rita answer that prayer you asked me to toss into the novena and you didn’t tell me?!” I said.
And it’s all good.
I’m happy to continue to pray. Even if the prayer is answered, I know that St. Rita can easily ask Our Lord to direct the grace somewhere else through His Blessed Mother.
What was truly astonishing to me is the fact that I have known this woman and her husband for many years and yet I never knew that they, like my wife and I, met on the ninth day of a novena to St. Rita! Maybe the real impossible causes are the friends we met along the way? Sorry, I’m laughing out loud at the stupidity of that comment.
St. Rita of Cascia, Patroness of the Imoossible, pray for us!
