O holy protector of those who are in greatest need,
O you who shine as a star of hope
in darkness, blessed Saint Rita,
bright mirror of God’s grace,
in patience and fortitude,
you are an advocate for the impossible.
Through the merits of the holy Virgin Mary
and your graces and virtues,
I ask you to obtain my earnest petition,
provided it be for the greater glory of God
and my sanctification.
Guide and purify my intention,
so that I may obtain the pardon of all my sins
and the grace to persevere daily,
as you did in walking with courage,
generosity, and fidelity down the path of life.
