Glorious St. Rita de Cascia, patroness of those in need,
your intercession with our Lord is most powerful.
Through the favors obtained by your prayers
you have been called “Advocate of hopeless
and even impossible cases.”
St. Rita, humble and pure; patient and compassionate
lover of Christ Crucified!
We have confidence that everyone who has recourse to you,
will find comfort and relief.
Listen to our petitions and show your power
with God on our behalf.
Obtain our petitions for us if they are for
the greater honor of God, and for our good.
We promise, if our petitions are granted,
to make known your favor,
and to glorify God for His gift.
Relying on your power with the merciful Savior,
we ask of you.
Columban Daily Prayer
Comfort and Relief
