On this day the Catholic Church remembers
St. Rita of Cascia

St. Rita of Cascia

religious, patroness of impossible causes · 1381 – 1457
What is impossible with men is possible with God.
— Luke 18:27

She was married to a violent man whom she patiently won for God. After his murder she kept her sons from taking revenge. As a widow she entered a convent that at first would not accept her. She is the patroness of seemingly hopeless cases. Do not give up.
