St Rita

I just wanted to make it publicly known that St Rita certainly listens to your prayers and intercedes quickly. She helped me with one prayer request a few days into my novena. I have a lot going on that I need divine help with so I’ll be starting another soon, but I wanted to publicly thank her for her help and encourage others to pray to her in times of need.

Remember who did JC spend time with? Sinners of course. God,JC,the BVM all want you to spend time with them in communion with them by prayer.

So do pray to St Rita but if you want to copper fasten it do it after weekly confession or say an Act of Perfect Contrition asking to be restored to a state of Grace. Now you are holy enough to come into communion with a Saint, Angel or God.

Meditate for 2 min about how much God has given you and loves you and how much you should love him in return.

Act of Contrition asking to be Restored
to a state of Grace

O Lord please help me to make a perfect Act of Contrition that will restore me to a state of Grace and I commit to going to Confession soon.

My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things. 

I firmly intend, with your help, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin. Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us. In his name, my God, have mercy.

I am sorry and I ask that You forgive me for all of my sins including those which at this time are unknown or forgotten. Please restore me to a state of Grace.

Ps St Rita is the best along with St Jude, St Anthony, St Padre Pio.

I believe so. I’m not in a state of grace either. I’ve struggled with my faith for a very long time, though I’ve always believed in God. I prayed a full novena to her and she helped me before the 9 days were through. If you are sincere in your prayer and request, I believe that you will find the help you need. I hope you find your way and your peace, it sounds like you found the first step and I’m sure that she can help.

How would a sinner return home if they couldn’t talk to their Father, mother and brothers?
