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 your crucified Jesus,
speak on my behalf for my petition
which seems so impossible from my humbled position.
Thank you St. Rita, patroness of impossible cases,
for your intercession on my behalf today.
