  1. My father suffers from grief & depression after my mom died 3.5 years ago.He stopped socializing, getting out and going to church regularly. I’ve prayed rosaries to our Lady, to the Holy Spirit & many novenas. St. RITA thank you for the gift to know he has a new friend also a widower from church. His friend & him go out to eat evey once in awhile. I called him last week to find out his friend was visiting him at home & they were enjoying coffee & pastry. My heart became so full of joy for him. I thank St. RITA, MAMA MARY & THE HOLY SPIRIT my Dad has a buddy who knows the loss of a wife.

  2. This was the first time that I begged St. Rita for help, and I asked my best friend to pray the novena with me as I was having 3 bad important things I really needed help with, and so we made the novena together and as of now TWO of the items we prayed for have turned out good, great really and still praying for the third one, I will continue to say the prayer to st. Rita til she decides to help me with it, it has to do with my son and getting him going in his business but mostly his health, he needs good health to work.

    Thank you St. Rita for your help, I have posted your novena on Facebook and will tell my friends that you have helped me greatly

  3. One of my intentions during the St Rita’s Novena was unity and love in my family especially my eldest brother who had disconnected himself from the family. Just yesterday he wrote on the family group chat bringing up ideas to make the family grow and accepting to take up his responsibilities as the first son. I am very happy . Thank you Jesus .

  4. I asked St Rita for the job my husband is doing now for his name to be included in the next batch and his name was included. Thank you St Rita.

  5. Well, I can’t remember when I started masturbating but it has been a really really long time. Despite trying my beat to stop I have never been able.
    After praying St. Rita, things got better. Its now two weeks without the addiction which before I could not end two days without. Am really thankful to St. Rita.

  6. Saint Rita has come through for me three times. This most recent was this morning when my 6 year old grandson had to have an MRI. Though we do not know the results yet, the MRI went well and he was not scared or nervous and the medication did not make him sick.

    Thank you St. Rita once again

  7. Thank you st Rita for what you have been doing in my life and that of my family members.i can’t thank you enough,you are indeed the saint of the impossible.Viva st RITA

  8. St Rita thank you for your intercession and for asking the lord to heal Nick & I! I’m grateful and thank you. I send my prayers to anyone who needs them at this time! God bless

  9. When I first read the heading to this email ” there is nothing impossible to God” I felt reassured.
    My son is facing a huge crisis with his alcoholism and is very down; possibly the lowest he has sounded. Fortunately he is going into hospital tomorrow. I am also very disappointed as he seemed to be doing well, however I know that because I had this false idea that all was well, I did Not Pray the St Rita novena with the fervour that I should have.
    Dear St Rita please intercede for my son with God for his health, happiness and peace.

  10. St Rita is one of my Patron Saints whose intercession I’ve enjoyed.
    I’ve been praying for God’s healing on my father who has been sick for a while. The first improvement was recorded immediately after the Saint Peregrine’s novena.
    I continued praying for more healing upon him and through the intercession of Saint Rita, after her novena, I was informed that there’s been much more improvement.
    I’m sincerely grateful to God for his Saints’ intercession.

  11. Two days before the end of this novena, my son received word that
    he was accepted as director of technology for a growing company in our area. Also, my wife and I began my retirement as of the first of this
    month and everything seems to be falling into place. Thank you St. Rita
    and please keep watching over us along with the Father, Jesus and the
    Holy Spirit!!

  12. After praying to St. Rita for a friend who was undergoing a biopsy and feared breast cancer, our prayers were heard and the biopsy was benign. No cancer! Thank you St. Rita and everyone saying the Novena. We are truly blessed.

  13. I had a legal matter resolved in my favor during the novena to St. Rita. The situation causing much grief for years is behind me.

  14. I have been praying noveenas for about 18 months to 2 years. I have mostly prayed for family peace. Our daughter has not spoken to my husband, her father sporadically for years. Because I did not agree with her, and not only stood my ground firmly, I lost it, so since I took five years of undue punishment and pain anguish depression, effects on my husband’s health and demeanor, I blasted her. That turned into me being unstable. So, she has withheld herself and grandchildren and blocked so I couldn’t call or text grandkids for ten months. One is going to be 16 and one 18 this summer. It was defeating as we have been a very active part of their lives from day one. I am happy to announce, she called me casually last month and I her a month later and this past week, I got to go over for a family visit. I truly thank the Saints, novenas and God for this and will continue till her Dad is extended the same. Thank you!

  15. I prayed the Novena to St. Rita for my grandson Charlie who has been diagnosed as globally delayed and in the spectrum of autism. He experiences severe tantrums and I prayed for strength for his mother and myself to help us cope with these episodes. Ever since the novena ended my grandson has very little tantrums and when he does, they only last a short time instead of close to an hour. I believe that St. Rita has answered my prayers and am so thankful to her for her intercession. Thank you so much St. Rita.

  16. My oldest son is struggling and we’ve been working very hard to be the supportive parents that he needs. Praying the novena has helped me to stay calm and centered when his anger is directed towards me. By not fighting back, and being able to access and express curiosity and love instead, he’s healing in spite of himself! Praying to St. Rita gave me a sense of having a strong companion directing my actions. I’m forever grateful for meeting this new spiritual friend, and will continue to call on her for direction and peace.

  17. I am grateful for the restoration of my husband’s job and grateful for being able to cope better with anxiety and have a better sense of peace during a trying situation… grateful for prayers and intercession of St. Rita and also St. Thèrése of Liseaux…
    and all Saints’ intercession prayers…❤️🙏🏻

  18. St Ritah prayer is powerful..was praying for my hubby to get contract renewal at his place of work…It was granted.

  19. I prayed to St. Rita for a sale of a house which was taxing me and I needed to sell it quickly. St. Rita answered my prays and the house was sold soon after the novena

  20. Ive been very ill with strokes plus been paralysed ive an angel Megan Marie in heaven too i think my angel and god has helped me in my ruthless fight in which im in good recovery Amen.

  21. Thanks a lot for the Novena, it has really changed my lifestyle and as I’m continuing to pray more Novenas I have faith and hope that it will be well soon in Jesus name.

  22. Thank you St Rita! I have had a very strained relationship with my husband for many years. I was even contemplating divorce. We are now getting along better than ever. St Rita interceded and it was like a light switch! We are in love again! No explanation except Devine intervention! Praise God!

  23. Praise be to the name of the most high.Since 2019 I have been praying for a job but in vain not even an interview but just as we were concluding the novena I received a call for an interview.As much as I have no job yet but I have the light at the end of the tunnel.My faith has also been beefed up.

  24. I prayed to Sta. Rita for a safe and peaceful transfer of residence and Sta. Rita made the impossible possible. 1 week before the transfer, everything was in disarray..permits, utilities, and other important concerns are still not ready but Sta. Rita helped us and we were able to transfer as scheduled. God is good!!!

  25. I have been prying this novena for my brothers to get a job. One of them called me and told me that I had got a job nd has started this week!! Thank you St.Rita

  26. I was asking for St. Rita’s intercession with my daughter’s toxic relationship with a young man that has been on and off for the last 5 years. After we completed the novena, I continued to pray for my daughter to see the red flags of this relationship and to have the courage to walk away. I believe she is no longer blind, she sees what all of us who love her saw all along. I am hopeful she will not go down that path again.

  27. Please edit as needed:
    I have a policeman friend who is going through a hard time. He does a load of good for people, in a ministry serving others but work is just bad in his life. So much violence, bureaucracy, corrupt way of life that others are trying to pull him into. Then he failed an exam in his role to go higher which made things worse. He was negative, angry and depressed with suicidal thoughts. His wife reached out to me for help. I encouraged her to pray this St Rita novena with me. She had a connection with St Rita from when she first got married too. Every day we prayed this novena for him. Day 5-8, marvelous change. He started to have better outlook on life, took the test again, passed it and was so pleased. His wife thanked me but I reminded her it was the powerful intercession of St Rita. I’m

  28. My husband was admitted in hospital. He is a dialysis patient.
    I prayed to St Rita for my husband’s recovery. Now he is fine and back to work.

  29. I finished my novena to St. Rita last Sunday evening. I have been praying for my son and daughter-in-law to conceive for quite some time.

    They informed us on Monday they were expecting! They found out the blessed news on Sunday….the last day of the Novena to St. Rita.

    Needless to say, we are thrilled and so very blessed. Thank you Our Lord and St. Rita.

  30. I have been praying these novenas each time they come and I have had so many answered prayers. The most recent testimony is that my diabetes which was my main concern and prayer point has stabilized. After St. Rita Novena I did my A1C and my doctor said it is normal. Glory be to God.

  31. I had 2 of the 3 intentions answered, although the 3rd one may have been answered and I just don’t know it yet. But the first one was for my daughter-in-laws’ kids who are trying to get their US citizenship and have had two long delays caused by the incompetence of specialists who were hired and many dollars spent! But before the last day of the novena my daughter was able to get to the bottom of the delays and now has the process on the fast track to getting the kids here! It’s hard to explain it without going into a lot of detail but suffice it to say that a miracle had to occur to get to the place where it is now!
    The second intention was answered, too. I had been asking for my husband and I to know what we should do with regards to our granddaughter and possibly getting guardianship of her. My husband has decided to hold off on pursuing it and I have such peace about it that I can’t help but think it was the answer to my prayers.
    Thank you saint Rita and thank you God!!

  32. I prayed to St. Rita for the healing of my daughter’s womb . She has had 5 miscarriages over the past 15 yrs. and had another miscarriage in Sept. 2019. We found out yesterday to our surprise she TODAY is 5 months pregnant , she did not know or expect to be. Apparently she was with twins and when she thought she miscarried one baby was lost and the other survived . Our Heavenly Father has Blessed us . Prayer’s from St. Rita for the impossible where heard . Thank You Jesus

  33. During the novena to St Rita, I asked her to help my older daughter to get a position that she applied at her job. This position has more advantages for her and she has been trying so hard to get it but nothing was happening. Today, she texted me and gave me the wonderful news that she got the position! Thank you so much St Rita for a wonderful miracle for my loving girl ❤️❤️

  34. I just received word my 23 year project is funded. Thank you St. Rita and the Lord. As well, Father Sergio for praying with me 12 years ago and telling me he heard word that the answer is Yes! But not yet and it will be better. I hung on to that faith and testimony, it kept me going all these years.

  35. After praying St. Rita’s novena my daughter was able to get a job which coincides with her goal of becoming a teacher. Thank you St. Rita. Incidentally, that is also my beloved mother’s name. My daughter has yet 3 more tests to pass in order to complete her Master’s degree in teaching. I ask for more prayers and blessings. Amen

My prayer through St. Rita was for my daughter’s papers from her teacher to be sent to one college before the deadline – yes the papers were received in time and we now just pray and wait for the decicion. Thank you St. Rita for getting my daughter’s papers to the college in time.

  43. Two very big intentions were answered within a week of finishing the St. Rita novena. My daughter received a four-year full tuition scholarship to an amazing university, and my son and daughter-in-law announced they are expecting a baby, after almost the years of trying. Thank you, St. Rita, for your intercession!

  44. My college daughter has been working so hard and applying for dozens of scholarships to try and pay her tuition. She’s been awarded some but not nearly enough to keep her out of a large amount of debt. I prayed the St. Rita novena for her to receive a scholarship and while we won’t hear back from one organization for a few weeks, we did see on her school financial aid site that she’s been awarded a large grant for next year!

  45. Praying novenas has given me inner peace and comfort that our Lord and all the saints are with me. I prayed to St. Rita for my husband to receive a job that will help us pay our monthly bills. He received a job offer just after finishing my novena to St. Rita. Thank you Lord and all the Saints that have given me comfort and strength to get through our difficult time.

  46. I started the novena a little over a week before my due date for our little girl. In the meantime, myself and our other little one grew extremely ill and had to be waited on hand and foot by my husband. I offered up prayer after prayer that he would not catch the flu from us since it was highly contagious and that I would heal miraculously in order to deliver our baby the natural way and to be able to be around her after she was born. The novena ended with my husband still healthy, and I went into labor the first day back on my feet and delivered Colette naturally just under two hours after getting to the hospital. Thank you so much St. Rita, your prayers allowed us to do the impossible with God!

  49. Praise the mighty name of our Lord Jesus. Amen. My prayer point for 2020 has been that God should bless me with a job as I have been unemployed since I was done with school (2017).

  52. St Rita’s intercession as is all the saints and Our Blessed Mother for Jesús has graced my daughter with a better job in her career.

  62. This isn’t a thank u St Rita testimony so much as a Thank You Lord for the countless blessings n healings over the years, some which I failed to see except on hindsight.

    I have prayed so many novenas you so many saints n even had a red book of novenas to u-name -it I have prayed it saints till I threw the novena book against the wall, picked it up n gave it away to the nuns.

    Though I have had many prayers answered, there was one which I called “biggie” back then which was never answered. Now I thank God He didn’t answer n it’s no longer a biggie. I am instead very thankful for a new non biggie which has turned out to be the mother of all blessings : a small playful monkey God gave me, La Scimmia. I love the small things in life more. Praise the Lord

  63. My mother has been suffered from asthma and lungs infection for long time, when she got the flu this year with all medications she never stopped coughing night and day. Her situation could make a stone cry. I started St Rita novena asking also my sisters to pray it for the intention of my mother “s healing. At the end of the novena she is so much better, as no one can believe it.
    Thank you St Rita patron of impossible casses .

  64. After praying St. Rita Novena, it was a surprise that the father of children paid one million for my daughter who is at Mbarara University who is in the last semester.
