O Holy Patroness of those in need, Saint Rita, whose pleadings before thy Divine Lord are almost irresistible, who for thy lavishness in granting favors hast been called the Advocate of the hopeless and even of the Impossible.
Saint Rita, so humble, so pure, so mortified, so patient and of compassionate love for thy Crucified Jesus that thou couldst obtain from him whatsoever thou askest, on account of which all confidently have recourse to thee, expecting, if not always relief, at least comfort; be propitious to our petition, showing thy power with God on behalf of thy suppliant; be lavish to us, as thou hast been in so many wonderful cases, for the greater glory of God, for the spreading of thine own devotion, and for the consolation of those who trust in thee.

I was in urgent need of a large sum of money, within a week to pay a bill. If not there would have been serious consequences. I had no idea how this large sum of money would come about.
I asked St Rita for help and it was nothing short of a miracle that sums of money were paid to me and they added up to what I needed with a bit extra extra on the very last day that the bill was due!
Thank you so much my dearest Saint Rita. I always seek your prayers whenever I need help and you and my dearest Mother Mary always pray for me to my Savior Jesus Christ.

Four years ago, I prayed to St Rita to get accepted by my PPA in Lagos for NYSC because they initially rejected me, After completing the Novena, I not only got accepted, but I was able to get in touch with the HR director who made sure I got the most coveted NYSC position.
from C.P.
Good morning. On the 9th day of my novena my government sickness benefit arrived.
Thank you so much St.Rita!
from S.S.
I went to Lagos State for my NYSC, hoping to make a better living.
I got there and things didn’t seem to be like I’ve hoped for. I couldn’t get a good PPA. My life seemed like a curse to humanity, it was totally impossible to get a PPA, then I remembered I beared the name Rita.
I went to St Rita in this novena, on the 6th day of my novena, I was able to get in touch with someone who gave me the contact to a good PPA and I got in touch with the CEO who asked me to come and get a request letter (a letter that asks NYSC to post me to their company) and on the last day of my novena, I got a request letter from the kind of company I hoped for and everything was settled.
I’m still praying to St Rita to help me bring the best to this company as I work with them.
Please never lose hope and even if you think your prayers are answered before the end of your novena, make sure to complete the novena to prevent the devil from getting a loophole. I hope my experience encourages you. I’ll still give a full detail of the negativities I encountered before I ran to St Rita and God almighty.
from R.C.
I had infiltration basal cell carcinoma removed from the side of my nose.
As it was very large tumor, closing the skin options were skin graft, skin flap, or leave it open and get plastic surgery in a week.
I opted for a skin flap surgery from my dermatologist, but he realized during this surgery that a skin flap wouldn’t work as I didn’t have enough skin to cut and fold over.
He did a skin graft instead which is what I really didn’t want because of the large scar it leaves.
After the first week, the skin graft was looking musky on the top and there was a risk my body could be rejecting the graft.
I began praying the St. Rita novena every day and after a month my graft is healing and so far does not look like the scar will be horrible.
Thank you St. Rita! I love you!
from V.
Hi! I wanted to share an answered prayer after completing this novena to St. Rita. It’s my first time praying to her as I recently became aware that she is the patron saint for impossible situations.
I received an invitation on August 28th for a wedding on October 28th in the US. I had already booked a ticket for October 19th with friends, so at first glance, it seemed impossible to schedule an interview appointment, especially since it was my first time applying for a visa.
When I first checked the available appointments, all the dates I saw were from May 2024 onwards. I began my novena on August 30th. I checked the appointment availability every day, hoping for an earlier slot to open up. A slot became available in March, so I took that one, and then in February, I had one last chance to reschedule, so I was saving it for an earlier date in October. I noticed slots opening up for October 27th and 28th, which got me excited because it showed that I was getting closer and closer.
Finally, just last Tuesday, a few days after completing my novena, I saw that a single slot had opened up for September 15th. I decided to take it, even though I would only have three days to prepare the required documents. I took my chance and continued praying to St. Rita. This morning, I had my interview and received approval for my visa!
Thank you for granting my prayers, St. Rita!
from I.M.
I had an accident at my gym, dropping a heavy barbell on my quadricep and I was told I would need surgery.
But after praying this novena my appointment today with the doctor I have been healed. No surgery needed thank you to Saint Rita and dear Lord!
from T.L.
St Rita and St Jude are my patron saints and my twins are named after them.
I and my husband prayed this Novena to conceive a child in spite of our fertility problems, and instead God gave us the gift of not only one but twins.
My son was recently admitted in the hospital for a week, and I prayed the St Rita novena, and I can attest that he is now well, and we were discharged yesterday.
from C.T.
On the last day of the Novena I was informed by my daughter that her stepson’s mother, who has lived a very hard and reckless life, has decided to return to the Catholic Church and finally baptize her 10 year old son.
To say that this was a lost cause would have been an understatement.
So many prayers, for so many years, said by so many people for this innocent little boy (who has special needs) to be baptized! Thank you Jesus for the conversion of the mother and the baptism of the first child to ever call me grandma.
from A.C.
I can attest to the power of St. Rita’s novena.
I have prayed for the acceptance of my son’s internship, and he had an interview today 5th of July and straight away, perhaps a matter of just 4 hours, he was called by the Big 4 accounting firm being offered the role.
I also prayed for my nephew to pass his Architecture licensure exams. And he also passed the exams.
*from L.H.”
St Rita has been a pillar to my marriage accros it’s lifespan.
I was unable to have children for 8 years, but now my daughter is six years old!
St Rita prays for the weary and is truly a patron of impossible cases.
My husband is a cancer survivor because St Rita prayed alongside me.
I have seen it over and over again.
from I.M.
I applied for my Canadian visa renewal since January 2022, but I heard nothing from the embassy since then.
In April 2023, I did this nine-day novena to St Rita asking for help.
That same month I got an email from them confirming my biometric, and on the 23rd of June my visa was renewed.
from P.I.
Before I started the novena to St. Rita, I was applying for my visa interview, and my school resumption date is in August.
Before I started the application process, I was told that there are no available dates in May, June, July August, September and October, so I could schedule for an appointment for November and after, but that would be too late.
I embarked on this novena and on the third day, I was told that I could schedule an appointment, and upon clicking to schedule it, to God be the glory, I saw three available dates in the month of May!
I give God all the glory for answering my prayers through the intercession of St Rita. I’m coming back to testify for visa approval.
from N.N.
I thank Saint Rita for interceeding for me.
I had six prayer intentions and by Day 8 of the novena, three were answered. She is indeed a powerful intercessor after our Blessed Mother Mary.
from C.M.
I had an accident at home and had a deep, wide gash on my left abdomen.
It became infected and I went in and out of awareness and was slipping into sepsis.
I am now in a skilled nursing home who were despaired of the wound completely healing, but since praying the novena to our blessed Saint Rita the wound is closing up, and I will begin to have physical therapy this week.
Thank you, dear, sweet, holy Saint Rita for your intercession with the Holy Trinity.
from J.W.
I’m an international student from Nigeria, studying in Canada. I just came into Canada three weeks ago and school is scheduled to begin next month.
On the 13th of April I got an email from my school, saying my admission had been revoked because my visa status was not sent in and the deadline had passed. This was due to a mistake on my part, where I had sent the visa status but to a wrong email. After repeatedly calling the school and pleading, they were unwavering in their decision, asking me to defer or withdraw.
I was truly devastated because of how it would affect my student visa/study permit, and how much I had spent relocating and etc.
My older brother called and told me to immediately begin St. Rita’s novena rather than panic.
On the 5th day of the novena, i sent an email to the school requesting withdrawal and a refund so as to pursue other admissions instead of just waiting.
Shortly after they sent a confirmation of my withdrawal request, they sent an email telling me that my admission was now active and i should proceed to select a time table. I was confused and in disbelief. Then they sent yet another email with a new admission letter.
I still can’t believe it. It’s too good to be true, truly beyond exhilarating.
St. Rita really listened to me, pitied me and helped me out for real and I’ll never be able to thank her enough.
from T.O.
I did not know St Rita until I came across the Novena to St Rita here in March 2022.
I was worried about my finances for my expenses going back home to the province to attend my Mom’s 80th birthday.
I began reading the Life story of St Rita and at the same time started praying the novena prayers before the Blessed Sacrrament everyday after attending daily Mass.
My special intention was Divine Providence, financial assistance, and good health. I repeatedly prayed the 9 day Novena in May before her feast day.
It was then that my prayers were answered. My brother provided my airfare back and forth so I could see my mother.
Also I got enough business for my 15 days stay and have extra to share with my nephews and nieces.
I thank God and St Rita for the answered prayer. I’ve had the best days of my life and was able to see, hug, and kiss my family after the pandemic.
St. Rita is a powerful saint. I was told by my employer that they were letting me go.
I was due to close on my home our family purchased in two months.
For a month everyday I prayed with all my heart to St. Rita asking her for prayers. A week later I received a new job offer and start my new employment next week!
Our new homeowner orientation is scheduled next month.
I am so grateful and thankful my prayers were answered.
This morning I offered a Mass of thanksgiving in church to God and all the saints I prayed to for help. Blessed be to God!
Thank you St Rita for your intercession.
My prayer intention for my daughter to become pregnant with a baby girl has been answered amazingly!
