Rita of Cascia
Rita Casciensis
Saint Rita of Cascia is known as the “Saint of the Impossible” for her powerful intercession in desperate causes. Born in 1381 in Umbria, Italy, she endured an unhappy marriage, the murder of her husband, and the death of her sons. After entering an Augustinian convent, she received a wound on her forehead as a sign of sharing in Christ’s Passion.
