Collect of St Rita of Cascia, Widow ~ Indulgenced on the Saint's Feast (See Note)

According to the Apostolic Penitentiary, a partial indulgence is granted to those who, on the feast of any Saint, recite in his honour the oration of the Missal or any other approved by legitimate Authority.


V.
 O Lord, hear my prayer.
R. And let my cry come unto thee.
Let us pray.
O God, Thou didst confer on Saint Rita the great graces of loving her enemies and of bearing on her brow the marks of Thy love and Thy passion. Through her prayers and merits, may we forgive our enemies and dwell upon the sufferings of Thy passion, and so receive the rewards promised to the humble and to those who mourn
Who liveth and reigneth with the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
R. Amen.

Nota bene ~ St Rita is not celebrated on the Universal Calendar, but only in certain places. The Collect is taken from the Missae pro aliquibus locis.
