St. Rita, Saint of the Impossible

I found St. Rita during a hard time in my life when I returned to the Catholic Faith. I think without her, I would still have many more troubles. I think through learning of her and her struggles it has helped me in my own. I ask her for help and I think I get what I need. If you are interested in knowing about St. Rita then this book is for you. I just got done reading this and the chapter about all the miracles is just mindboggling. Please read about this great Saint.
