Devotion to the Saints: prayer to Saint Rita for a difficult grace

O Saint Rita, saint of the impossible and advocate of desperate causes, under the weight of the test, I appeal to you. Free my poor heart from the anxieties that oppress it and make peace to my heartbroken spirit.

You who have been chosen by God as the advocate of desperate causes, obtain the grace that I ask of you ... [to express the request invoked]

Would I be the only one not to experience the efficacy of your powerful intercession?

If my sins constitute an obstacle to the fulfillment of my dearest vows, obtain for me the great grace of sincere repentance and forgiveness, through a good confession.

In any case, do not allow me to continue to experience such a great affliction. Have mercy on me!

O Lord, see the hope I have placed in you! Listen to Saint Rita who intercedes for us, humanly afflicted without hope.

Listen to it once again, manifesting your mercy in us. Amen.
