Father in Heaven, I praise and thank You.

My heart rejoices, my soul lives in Your peace.

I praise and thank You for giving me a sign of Your love.

I believe that St. Rita interceded on my behalf, and brought my prayers to You: I thank her, for she is one with You;

By loving her, I love You, by singing her praises, I sing Yours.

Today I rejoice, and I know that there will be many more challenges to face in the future. But I also know that one day I will be with You, where ‘there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain’.

Father, keep me in Your Light, that I may remain faithful to the Gospel, engaged in my Christian life, hoping in Your Kingdom.

Amen.”
