 Novena Prayer
O glorious St. Rita, your pleadings before the divine crucifix have been known
to grant favors that many would call the impossible.
Lovely St. Rita, so humble, so pure, so devoted in your love
for thy crucified Jesus, speak on my behalf for my petition which
seems so impossible from my humbled position.
(mention your intention here)
Be propitious, O glorious St. Rita, to my petition,
showing thy power with God on behalf of thy supplicant.
Be lavish to me, as thou has been in so many wonderful cases
for the greater glory of God.
I promise, dear St. Rita, if my petition is granted, to glorify thee,
by making known they favor, to bless and sing thy
praises forever. Relying then upon thy merits and power
before the Sacred Heart of Jesus I pray.
Amen.
For a Special Intention
Holy Patroness of those in need, Saint Rita, you were humble, pure and patient. Your pleadings with your divine Son are irresistible, so please obtain for me from our risen Jesus the request I make of you: (mention your petition here). Be kind to me for the greater glory of God, and I shall honor you and sing your praises forever. Glorious Saint Rita, you miraculously participated in the sorrowful passion of our Lord Jesus Christ. Obtain for me now the grace to suffer with resignation the troubles of life, and protect me in all my needs. Amen.
Prayer for a Sufferer of Illness
Dear Rita, model wife and widow, you yourself suffered in a long illness showing patience out of love for God. Teach us to pray as you did. Many invoke you for help, full of confidence in your intercession. Come now to my aid for the relief and cure of: (name of sufferer and illness). To God, all things are possible; may this healing give glory to the Lord. Amen.
