As often happens, your writing brought tears, Denise! St. Rita is now on my present list of much-needed patrons, beside St. Dwynwen, St. Dymphna, St. Joan of Arc, and my namesakes.
I am glad you told us about her life...today at mass we were told that she was the saint of difficult marriages; she prayed that her sons die before they killed for revenge. Her prayers were answered as they both died of illness before they could take revenge.

Just beautiful, Denise. Thank you!
