Memorial of Saint Rita of Cascia,

Saint of the Impossible

 

Philippians 4:4-6, 9 Brothers and sisters: The Lord is near. Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. 9 Keep on doing what you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, then the God of peace will be with you.

 

Lord God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we praise and thank you for your love and guidance through your Holy Word and empowerment of the Holy Spirit to keep us aware that Jesus is always in our presence. We pray to never deny the call of the Holy Spirit when we are called to not worry but in everything turn to Jesus in prayer and in faith in time of need, trust in His love and care for us and believe we will receive peace in our hearts and in our troubled world.

 

Today we pray for God’s Grace and Mercy through the passion and suffering of His Son Jesus and the intercession of St. Rita of Cascia who was devoted to the Passion, and prayed to suffer as Christ. We pray for victims of abuse, spouse abuse, victims of

infertility or sterility, those who suffer, loneliness, sickness or bodily ills; people suffering with wounds; people who are desperate, forgotten, lost, in difficult; marriages, parenthood and widows.

 

In the  Name of the Father and of The Son and of The Holy Spirit. Amen.

 

Empowered by The Holy Spirit and God’s Holy Word

 

Holy Mary, Mother of God,  pray for us.
