She is known as the Saint of impossible causes. Saint Rita died in 1447 at the age of seventy-six. Could you imagine worms crawling in your wound?) (Makes me extra glad for “modern medicine” being around. But never did she complain and she was always joyful. Later, even worms began to live in her wound which added to her torment. The smell from the wound was so bad that to spare the other nuns suffering through having to smell it, Rita would often stay in her room to pray. The wound from the thorn got very infected and it began to stink. Medicine nowadays is much different than when St. Rita lived. It never healed and caused her great pain which she gladly suffered. He sent her one of the thorns from his crown and it pierced her forehead. Because of how much she loved Jesus, she begged Him to be able to suffer some of the pain of his crucifixion. She spent much time in prayer and always did God’s will. Rita loved her life as a nun and lived a very holy life there. But, through God’s help, she succeeded and was allowed to enter the Augustinian convent. It took a lot of courage and patience to work with both families and get them to become friends. She needed to bring peace between the two families first. Rita had already made it clear to everyone that she had forgiven the murderer of her husband. It was believed that since her husband’s family and another were still upset with each other it would not be safe for the other nuns if she entered the convent. Even though she was known as a very holy woman, she was denied entrance to the Augustinian convent.

If her sons committed this horrible sin and died without turning back to God, then they could go to hell-and Rita definitely didn’t want that to happen!īut her sons died before they could carry out their plot. Without her family responsibilities, Rita was free to enter a convent like she always wanted. A mortal sin is a deadly sin, one that separates us from God.
She knew that committing murder was a mortal sin. Rita begged them not to, but they wouldn’t listen. So then she prayed to God. So, they began plotting to kill someone from the murderer’s family. In this case, Rita’s sons, along with their uncle and his family, wanted revenge for their father’s death. Paolo was murdered! It was common during those times for the family of the murdered to take revenge and murder someone from the family of the murderer. They had two children together, both sons. With God’s help, Rita stayed kind and loving towards her husband over time, her husband became a loving, caring, God-fearing man. When he got angry, he often would say mean things to Rita. At the age of twelve, Rita married Paolo Mancini, a man with a violent temper. This was the late 1300s and marriages were arranged by parents. Unfortunately, the man Rita’s parents chose for her husband was not a kind man. After much prayer, Rita chose to obey her parents, believing that God wanted her to sacrifice her desire to be a nun and to marry as her parents wanted. This made Rita sad and she prayed about it and asked guidance from a priest. Rita was their only child and they wanted to have grandchildren! The idea of her being a nun wasn’t an option. Saint Rita, who lived in Italy, wanted to be a nun from the time she was a young child. Do you know what you want to be when you grow up? Many kids have lots of ideas of what they want to be when they are young.
