A Simple and Efficient Novena to St. Rita
Novena to St. Rita
For nine days, you will say the prayer of the day, followed by one “Glory Be” and then the following prayer:
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit as it was, in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end amen. Amen.
Lord Jesus, today, through the hands of Saint Rita,
we present you with our personal situations and
our immense desire for the good of our families
and our communities.
Send upon us, O Christ Jesus, the Holy Spirit,
so that our attitudes and our words,
like those of Saint Rita, may be inspired by your Gospel
and guided by your grace.
You are God and live and reign with the Father
and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen
By the intercession of Saint Rita may God bless us,
Father and Son and Holy Spirit.
