The Precious Pearl: The Story of Saint Rita of Cascia

The Precious Pearl: The Story of Saint Rita of Cascia

Peacemaker, Saint of the Impossible, the Saint Who Asks Too Much are just a few of the many adjectives used to describe one of the most popular saints of our times. With the canonization of Saint Rita in 1900, interest in and devotion to the Precious Pearl of Umbria spread rapidly not only in her native Italy, but throughout many nations. As a woman who had experienced the various states of life as wife and widow, mother and nun, St. Rita has much to say to women of every time and place. As a victim of violence and a witness to forgiveness, she offers powerful testimony to men and women alike. It is hoped that this little book will bring many to find in St. Rita's example a model whom they can emulate and an intercessor on whom they can count in their time of need.
