St. Rita of Cascia is known as the "Saint of the Impossible" because of her unwavering faith and perseverance through seemingly insurmountable hardships. Born in 1381 in Roccaporena, Italy, she long desired to become a nun, but out of obedience to her parents, she married a man of violent temper. For years, she endured his cruelty with patience and love, praying for his conversion. Her prayers were answered before his untimely death, but soon after, her two sons also died.

Benefits of a compact book Portability - A small, compact book is easy to carry, making it convenient for travel, commuting, or reading on the go. Accessibility - Its size allows for quick reference, whether for study, prayer, or casual reading, without the bulk of a larger volume. Discreetness - A compact book can be read in public or private without drawing much attention, making it ideal for personal reflection or study. Durability - Smaller books often have sturdier bindings and covers, allowing them to withstand frequent handling and travel. Efficiency - Concise and well-organized content ensures that the reader gets essential information without unnecessary bulk, making learning or devotion more focused and effective.

St. Rita sought entrance into the Augustinian convent but was initially rejected. Through prayer and divine intervention, she was eventually accepted, where she devoted herself to prayer, penance, and service to others. She received a mystical wound on her forehead, resembling Christ's crown of thorns, as a sign of her deep union with His suffering.
Throughout her life, St. Rita was known for her powerful intercessions, bringing healing, reconciliation, and peace to those in desperate need. Even after her death in 1457, countless miracles were attributed to her intercession, particularly in seemingly hopeless situations.
Today, she remains a source of inspiration for those facing difficulties in marriage, illness, or personal struggles. St. Rita's life teaches the power of faith, forgiveness, and trust in God's will, reminding all that with Him, nothing is impossible.

St. Rita's BEEN THERE AND SUFFERED THAT - U R not alone!

"Put away all anxiety from your minds, present your needs to God in every form of prayer and in petitions filled with gratitude. Then God's own peace, which surpases all understanding, will stand guard over your hearts and minds, in Christ Jesus (Phillipians 4:6-7)". When I randomly opened the book and read those words I knew I had found my Saint. Actually St. Rita came into my life over 30 years ago when an Aunt gave me a 1st Class Relic of the Saint when we were trying to adopt a baby and yes, we got the baby who is now 35 years old.But I never knew anything about St. Rita, except that she was the Saint of the Impossible. This woman suffered every indignity her husband could pile upon her. She was forced into a loveless marriage by aged, but well-meaning parents when her heart longed for the convent. She was physically and verbally abused by a husband who was also a womanizer/adulterer. She was the sole caretaker for her sick and aged parents. After years of a miserable marriage Rita's influence finally brought her husband to the Church and happiness in the last 15 years of their married life BEFORE HIS ASSASSINATION and then she had to deal with sons who swore to avenge the murder of their father. You'll just have to buy the book to learn how Rita entered the Convent, received the Stigmata and brought a dead rose bush to life that still blooms 600 years later. It's a fantastic read and INSPIRATION!
