LORIOUS St. Rita, please obtain for me the grace faithfully to fulfil the duties of my state in life.

Glorious St. Rita, please obtain for me the grace to be satisfied with the Jot in life to which God has called me.

Glorious St. Rita, please obtain for me thy spirit of patience and strength in adversity.

Glorious St. Rita, obtain for me entire detachment from the things of this world and fix all my affections and desires on heavenly treasures.

Glorious St. Rita, please obtain for me health of soul and body.

Glorious St. Rita, advocate of the impossible and patroness of desperate cases, please obtain the favors I ask through thee.

HOU servant of God, Saint Thérése of the Child Jesus, who in thy dying moments didst say: “I will spend my heaven in doing good upon earth,’’ hasten to let fall upon me a Shower of Roses that I too may be inflamed with that fire of love which burned so brilliantly in thy breast and which brought thee so gloriously to the arms of Jesus, my Lord and my God. Amen.
