Feast of Saint Rita

 

Today is the feast of St. Rita, patroness of impossible cases. I would also like to nominate her for the "Be Careful What You Pray For" award:

"Sister Rita had a great devotion to the Passion of Christ. "Please let me suffer like you, Divine Saviour," she said one day, and suddenly one of the thorns from the crucifix struck her on the forehead. It left a deep wound which did not heal and which caused her much suffering for the rest of her life."
