Saint Rita prayer


Intercessory Prayer to St. Rita

O powerful St. Rita, rightly called Saint of the Impossible, I come to you with confidence in my great need. You know well my trials, for you yourself were many times burdened in this life. Come to my help, speak for me, pray with me, intercede on my behalf before the Father. I know that God has a most generous heart and that he is a most loving Father. Join your prayers to mine and obtain for me the grace I desire

(Make your request...)

You who were so very pleasing to God on earth and are so much so now in heaven, I promise to use this favor, when granted, to better my life, to proclaim God's mercy, and to make you more widely known and loved.

Amen.

Saint Margaret Mary


Today at 7:30 AM

"One Friday during Holy Mass, I felt a great desire to honor the sufferings of my Crucified Spouse.

He told me lovingly that He desired that, every Friday, I adore Him thirty-three times upon the Cross, the throne of His mercy ...

I was to offer these acts of adoration to the Eternal Father together with the sufferings of His Divine Son, to beg of Him the conversion of all hardened and faithless hearts who resist the impulse of His grace.

He told me, moreover, that at the hour of death He will be favorable to those who have been faithful to this practice."

"These thirty-three acts of adoration of Our Lord on the Cross may be made anywhere on Fridays, and even while attending to one's ordinary work. They require no special attitude, formula or vocal prayer.

A simple look of love and contrition, coming from the depths of our heart and sent up to our Crucified Lord is sufficient to express our adoration and our gratitude to Him.

It is also an appeal to the Blessed Virgin to intercede with the Heavenly Father for the conversion of sinners."
