One of the most popular Saints in the Church for centuries, St. Rita is known as the "Saint of the Impossible" because of her amazing answers to prayers, as well as the remarkable events of her own life.
Desirous of being a nun, she instead obeyed her parents and married. Her husband was cruel, and caused her much suffering, to which she responded with love and prayers, eventually converting him. After the death of her husband and two sons, Rita was able to enter a convent, where she devoted herself to prayer and penance.
She abandoned herself totally to God, diminishing herself as He increased in her. Here is the inspiring story of a soul completely resigned to God's will. 132 pgs, PB
