Saint Rita Religious Medal
Patron Saint:
Of Impossible Cases
- Feast Day May 22
Saint. Rita devoted herself to
prayer, penance and works of charity. After praying to her
three special patron saints-Saint. John the Baptist, Saint.
Augustine and Saint Nicholas of
Tolentino-she miraculously
entered the convent and was allowed to remain. So that she might
share in the pain of His Crown of Thorns, Our Lord gave Saint Rita
a thorn wound in her forehead. She prayed, "O loving
Jesus, increase my patience accordingly as my sufferings
increase". The wound lasted the rest of her life. Innumerable
miracles took place through her intercession. Saint Rita's body
was preserved perfectly incorrupt for several centuries,
God has
heard Saint. Rita's prayers for others on countless occasions,
continuing to prove the truth of her great name:
The Saint of the Impossible!
