Prayer of Week
Holy Patroness of those in need, St Rita, so humble, pure and patient, whose pleadings with thy Divine Spouse are irresistible, obtain for me from thy Crucified Christ my request [mention it here]. Be kind to me, for the greater glory of God, and I promise to honour thee and to sing thy praises forever. Oh glorious St Rita, who didst miraculously participate in the sorrowful Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ, obtain for me the grace to suffer with resignation the troubles of this life, and protect me in all my needs. Amen
