Prayer of Thanks to Saint Rita, Advocate of Desperate Cases
O glorious and powerful St. Rita, today I come to You with a moved heart.
In times of danger, when my happiness and the joy of my loved ones were threatened, I implored you for help, filled with sorrow and worry.
How I prayed to you, St. Rita, who they call the saint of the Impossible, the Advocate of Desperate Cases, the Last Refuge.
I trusted in your intercession, and was not disappointed.
I come to you again now to express my eternal gratitude, and there are no more tears or suffering in my eyes, but joy and serenity in my heart.
This joy and serenity, I owe it to you, O dearest saint, because you intervened in my favor and brought my prayers to the Lord; in spite of my indignities, you obtained for me the grace I requested.
O great wonder-worker, Consoler of the Afflicted, I would like to express this profound feeling of gratitude which fills my heart, and yet I am so overwhelmed by my emotions that I can only murmur:
Thank you, thank you, thank you, St. Rita!
I will prove to you my gratitude, and share your name with the world, grow the love of others for your virtuous graces, so they may know the joy of experiencing your infinite kindness.
I will help, as much as I can, to grow the devotion to your powerful intercession, and I will celebrate the offices in your honor.
Day after day, I will make myself more worthy of your help and protection: from now on, I will accomplish my Christian duty with the highest assiduity.
O St. Rita, to you I entrust these precious resolutions: I pray that you will bring them to God, and thank Him for His generous graces on my behalf.
Please, never abandon me, keep me under your holy protection, so I may one day join you in heaven, and tell you my sincere thanks.
Amen.”
