7 virtues of St. Rita

Saint Rita. Her life consecrated all states of life: marriage, widowhood, and religious life. She lost her husband at a young age and later both her children. She lived as a nun in a convent for forty years, and for the last fifteen years of her life, she bore a stigma on her forehead – a thorn from Christ's crown.

She was certainly a woman of many virtues, but we introduce her through seven of them – as a woman of peace, faith, prayer, forgiveness, hope, suffering, and love.

The legacy of Saint Rita, a powerful intercessor and patron saint of impossible causes, remains relevant today. Breathe in the scent of holiness with her and set out on your daily journey to follow Christ.
