Catholic Prayer: Novena to St. Rita

Description:

This novena is in a shorter form. If time permits, add three Hail Marys or say five times the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory be to the Father, or to use some of the many well-loved novena prayers from other sources. For the novenas that precede movable feasts, we begin nine days before the feast occurs. This novena begins on May 14 and ends on May 22.

Prayer:

O glorious St. Rita! You who so wonderfully participated in the Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ, obtain for me the grace to suffer with patience the pains of this life and protect me in all my needs.
