Saint Rita of Cascia, religious

Bestow on us, we pray, O Lord,

the wisdom and strength of the Cross,

with which you were pleased to endow Saint Rita,

so that, suffering in every tribulation with Christ,

we may participate ever more deeply in his Paschal Mystery. Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, for ever and ever.
