    Please find my testimony below:

    I want to thank St. Rita for being herself. I thank her for her intercession in my life. I thank her for my promotion after almost 9 years of stagnation, I thank her for my change of job role. I thank her for her intercession in all the good things going on in my life and my future plans.

    I was unemployed. I applied for a vacancy and went for interview. We were very many applicants. I needed the job desperately.

    I prayed to St Rita just the night before the interview. I was given the job. Thank you very much St Rita.

    I have another favor am asking for. I’ve already started the novena. Am confident that it will be granted though it seems impossible to human foresight and efforts.

    St Rita pray for me.

    Good evening Shelley,
    Growing up, I vividly remember my Nonna praying to St. Rita. Maybe because my mother’s name is Rita. Or maybe coming to the United States to marry my Nonna, twelve years her senior, as a sixteen year old, leaving her family behind, might be another, I’m not sure.

    So when I felt the weight of the world when our twenty-four year old son was diagnosed with stage 3a testicular cancer on November 24, 2021, I felt comfort in St.Rita. I committed to reciting the St. Rita novena from that day, through his three rounds of chemotherapy (December 13, 2021 through February 9, 2022) and seven hour surgery (March 22, 2022).

    My prayer to St. Rita was for Daniel’s destiny to be in God’s loving, healing and miraculous hands, may His will be done. I trusted in Jesus and asked for the Blessed Mother’s intercession.

    The pathology report stated that although he will continue to be monitored, he doesn’t need additional chemotherapy, and has a high likelihood of a cure. THANK YOU ST. RITA for hearing and granting my petition! AMEN!
    With love, blessing and humbled gratitude,

    Damilola Ogunbi – I am a student in university, and last semester I made constant prayers to St Rita for intercession concerning job placements and success in my academics. I was not doing well academically and was on the track to repeating numerous courses due to my low grades. After my constant prayers, the teachers in the classes that I was failing were providing opportunities for extra credit that were not made available at the beginning of the semester ( this was very odd in my school). With her intercession I was able to pass all my classes last semester as well as land a job position.

    Yvette R. – I would like to publish my prayer request which was granted before I finished my Novena to St. Rita. I am so grateful and humbled by this. My job was in jeopardy due to a broken machine. My employer was no longer going to fix the machine, which left me without a job at this location. I have been there for 24 years and I was devastated to think I had to leave because of no available funds to fix the machine, but thanks to St.Rita and many prayers to God, they found someone to fix the machine and now I am able to stay at my job, which I love and am extremely blessed to have. This is the second time that St.Rita has interceded for me on a prayer request. I am extremely grateful and thankful for Gods mercy on me and for St.Rita for helping me during this very stressful time!

    On 15 January 2016 I was diagnosed with a heart disorder and I needed to have a surgery asap.Although i had a good understanding of the illness, and the purpose of the surgery, I and my family did not have excess funds let alone one to pay for such a procedure.
    My mum called me on this faithful day and said “Your patron Saint is St. Rita right, why don’t you say a novena to her? I’m sure she will answer you”. So I started a 31 day Novena to St.Rita on that day. On the 31st day (which was the last day of the novena, I turned my laptop on only to receive an email from my employer telling to get ready to go for the surgery that the firm will pay all medical expenses! OMG! I couldn’t believe my eyes! I had not even completed my novena and My problems where solved.
    I went abroad for the surgery and came back in full and good health. St. Rita is still helping me as I get stronger everyday.

    I thank God for listening to my prayers through the interception of my most loved St. Rita

    20 odd years ago St Rita granted my petition after saying the nine day Novena when my marriage was going through tough time and my husband wasn’t sure he loved me – today thankfully we are still together and our children have grown and are doing their own thing. All those years ago I had found the Novena in a church and still have it. Now I come to you again my dear Saint Rita during this 9 day Novena to ask you to intercede with God the Father and Mary my Mother to help my husband and myself be able to pay bills and rent that we took on – hopefully something will come up for my husband on the side to help us not struggle

    I just finished a novena to St. Rita for God’s will to be done concerning a man, as to whether he will start a relationship with me and marry me or I move on from him right away, and to leave this in God’s hands. Thanks to this novena, I feel greater peace and trust in God’s will. I do not fully know the outcome, but I have truly surrendered this to God for once. Thank you, St. Rita.

    Last month, i encountered a bad news about my lab result i was so helpless and frustrated. I opened it up with my brother and he said to me to ask intercession to st. Rita. I dont know about st. Rita at all and when i googled it, i just found out that it was her feast day the following day. Ibprayed to st. Rita and to the Black nazarene to grant my request and prayers for having a good health and free from any illnesses. I did again a lab test and after a few days, the result was good. I am very thankful for that and i am hoping that everything will be alright. Please give us good health and also my family O Lord.St. Rita, pray for us.

    St. Rita and St. Andrew

    I had been out of work since October. I prayed the Saint Andrew Christmas Novena from Nov 30th until Christmas day requesting Our Lord bring me my next job, “directly”. I asked for this unusual prayer because my last few pick(s) in jobs were not a good fit. My last pick turned out to be working with people who were very ungodly. In fact, I lost the job because I was the only person who did not make use of bad language. My work was considered well done but I did not fit the crowd.

    After I completed the St. Andrew novena, I remained unemployed, hungry, fearful, and most concerned. I support a wife and five small children – God’s blessings and richness.

    In March, my wife suggested we start another novena to our family patron, St. Rita. On the ninth day, I received a call from nowhere. The hiring manager never interviewed me, never met me, and the following day outright hired me! The manager located me from Monster.com, a posted resume that previously won no attention. The job was indeed brought directly to me via
    St. Andrew and St Rita, who arranged the call on the ninth day of the novena.

    I was overwhelmed that both St. Andrew and St Rita came through together. What a wonderful family we have in heaven. They truly are concerned about our well-being. It made me think hard and long just how much the Saints are integrated in our lives and that they do care. Prior we were living on other people’s donations. We never were late on bills, always had something to eat, and no harm came to any family member.

    I learned a value in trusting in God. Trusting is a difficult concept because I was taught to work for myself and work hard to survive. It is true to work, and work hard, however it is a lie to trust in oneself to provide. God alone is the One who provides all means in life, including breathing.

    It is difficult to accept this reality, but take it from me, for those who know me, it is true. I pray someday I am able to take my family to Italy so we can personally thank St Rita for her intercession. As a pro-Medjugorje follower, I would not mind spending a week there with the family as well.

    How shallow I had become by not trusting in God. A lesson learned. The most difficult part is to best learn to know in our everyday lives what to trust in God for, and what to trust within us. When driving a car, I am the person who mans the wheel. However, at times, God mans the wheel to protect and guard against a fatal accident. It has happened to me once. Another story for another time. These events, in trust, are a mystery. One I am unable to explain nor properly inform others of. I can only share what occurred to me.

    Hi, My name is Cindy, and I prayed the 9 days novena prayer to St. Rita. Before I entered into this prayer, I had suffered some physical illness, and at about 5th days of the novena prayer, I found out that my symptom of pains and discomfort had decreased dramatically. Not only that, I was able to quickly find a good physician to check on me! Thank you St. Rita. Also, a friend of mine owed me some money, and she did not know how to return this amount of the money to me, I suggested her to pray the novena prayer to St. Rita at the same time when I was doing mine. She was able to receive her pay check from a business deal, and she will return my money shortly. Also, I was praying to St. Rita to have a good friendship and a working relationship with one of my career partner because before we had lots of conflicts and strifes. After about 6th days of the novena prayer, our relationships have been a sweet and loving one where we were able to work together and enjoy each other’s company.

    Thank you!! P.S. There are still prayers that I asked St. Rita to intercede for me and have not been answered yet. I believe it is either not of God’s will, or it is simply the matter of timing. However, I really feel the love of this sister of Christ in me when I did the Novena prayer to her in the past 9 days.

    I had some health issues the past 3 months I prayed to St. Rita to let my tests that were taken to come out normal. I prayed everyday day to St. Rita and every time the doctor called with my results they all came back normal. Thank you beautiful St. Rita for answering my prayers, I love you with all my heart!

    I glorify God for the miraculous act in my life.

    Last year ,i began my journey to become a CPA. I asked God to help me pass all my exams in the first sitting. I prayed to St Rita to help me ask God to grant this favor. I worked hard,prayed so hard while putting my trust in God and St Rita (novena).

    I passed all my exam within the time frame i asked God. With the help of St Rita, St Juda,St Anthony of Padua and St Philomena(novena), i successfully achieved my goal. Please, do not lose hope, rather pray with faith and God will hear your prayers.

    Glory be to God of the most high.

    I am writing to share my experience with St. Rita. I started my novena on May 8th, 2017 asking St. Rita to intercede for me. My needs were to find a good positon soon as my one year for unemployment had come around on May 4th, despite all networking efforts, applications online, linkedin, it was a dry valley and it was a very depressing experience where there was literally no hope, despite my daily prayers. I asked St. Rita to assist me and in return i would publish her help in this time, as well as attend her special service for her upcoming feast day. Well, once my novena was wrapping up, I received a job offer and I start this Monday, May 22nd-her feast day! praise be to God, who can do the impossible and many thanks to the saints who listen on our behalf!

    I wanted to share this testimony as this seemed like a very impossible situation, I am asking her for another favor, and I am praying she will be just as effective and generous.

    Thank you!

    Regards,

    Persis

    Thank you Lord for blessing me with this life. Right now I am stressed to the max over this new job that I have taken. I am grateful for this opportunity, but it is new to me x3weeks. I am asking for a miracle that I am just being over paranoid and that the, “house mouse,” was not saying anything regarding my work tonight. I really need God to protect me and shine his light on me in a very positive way so I may keep this job and move on to the next portion of my training. I pray that the Dear Lord would show mercy and kindness on me as he has done so many times before. That tonight I’m just hyper sensitive and paranoid due needing to do well in this certain area of this job. I am asking God to grant nothing but good things come out of the workers, and the, ” house mouses,” mouth. I am super stressed beyond belief even as I type and ask for you all to pray for me as my shift is coming to an in end and in 1 hr, then I will find out if I am doing well or if they did speak something negative regarding me. Please Dear Lord have mercy and kindness on me. Thank you soo much for helping me, and healing me, my heart and my stress. I ask this in the name of Jesus, Amen. Thank you all for taking your time to pray for me. Sincerely, STRESSED OUT.

    Again I must thank St. Rita for answering my prayers. I have been praying that my son turn back to his faith. He usually becomes defensive when I try to talk to him about it in any way but the other night he asked me to pray for his fiance. I see this as a small step towards his return and a sign that he hasn’t given up his faith entirely. Thank you St. Rita.

    Dear St Rita,

    I am so grateful to have called on you after a number of years when I prayed a Novena in your honour for a job and was blessed with a wonderful job.
    I am so glad to have recently completed a Novena for my Spouse to love me, be understanding, work for the good of our marriage and for us to have a happy and holy family. Thank you so much for your intercession for the positive change witnessed is so amazing as I already begun receiving answers to my prayers even just before the end of the Novena! I really previously considered this a difficult challenge I had. I also thank our loving Mother of Perpetual Help and our gracious Lord Jesus Christ.

    I have a compelling story to share with my fellow Catholics about my encounter with St.Rita. To start with, a strange red mark appeared on my forehead about 9 months ago and it reminded me of the wound on St. Rita’s forehead. Hence, I was drawn to her and decided to pray to her. The story starts back in 2007 when I met a young lady who stole my heart. I fell madly in love with her the moment I laid eyes on her. For the next 8 years I struggled to build a friendship with this girl, when I finally made a breakthrough in December 2015. Then three months later, on Easter Sunday, she broke my heart by telling me that she was seeing someone and that it was “serious”. So I countered by writing a six-page letter to this girl telling her about how I fell in love with her at first sight. The girl was shocked at my feelings and pushed me away and blocked me on Facebook. I was devastated. Then one day in May 2016 I looked in the mirror and noted that my forehead mark was actually turning into a darker red and spreading to about a quarter inch in diameter. It was then that I decided to start a nine day novena to St. Rita. To my amazement, I had discovered about five days into the novena that I was scheduled to wrap up the novena on the day of St. Rita’s feast. What a lovely coincidence! So here I am on the morning of St. Rita’s feast day, finished my novena asking for a marriage to the love-at-first-sight girl, and I decided to watch EWTN in the hopes of finding a program or documentary on St. Rita. When I turned on the TV to EWTN, there was a talk show on, and the guest of the program was Tim Staples. While Tim was giving his testimony, I noticed that his relationships with women were similar to mine. Then, he went into a lovely story about how he met his wife. He said he looked into her eyes for the first time and said “this is my wife”. Love at first sight! Just like with me! He also explained that his wife never felt the same feeling, and that “it took a while” to convince her to marry him. Now Tim and his lovely wife have nine children together. I took this as a sign from God that love-at-first-sight is real and it does happen and that all is possible through prayer and faith. Mr. Staples asked God for a wife, and God came through with flying colors. As for the girl that I love, well, she is still with her boyfriend. I haven’t spoken to her in eight months. But my heart is still on fire for her, and it was on this evening that I started thinking about St. Rita and her patronage of impossible cases. Then my conscience told me to get on the message boards and post my testimony – so here it is! The moral of the story is this: God speaks to us in wonderful miracles and coincidences through the intercession of our beloved St. Rita. It was my love of St. Rita that brought about these wonderful coincidences. And I just might start a new novena and ask St. Rita and our Lord to bring me and my lady love together so that I can love her with God’s sacred and holy love…in matrimony and in eternal life. Believe in love! Believe in God! Believe in the power of St. Rita’s intercessions! In the name of Jesus Christ, God bless all of my fellow Catholics. I promise to keep you all updated. +
