From my bed of suffering I turn to you,
O glorious Saint Rita, to obtain your help.

During your life on earth, you have always shown great
great charity towards the sick.
You visited them, comforted them and helped them as best you could.

From Heaven, where you are today
show me the efficacy of your charity, O my humble protector,
Obtain for me patience and courage in my pains,
and, if God sees fit, obtain for me a complete recovery,

that this illness may be an occasion for me to glorify the goodness of the Lord, to exalt the power of your intercession,
but above all to make myself worthy, by a life henceforth more virtuous,
of the glory you enjoy in Heaven.

So be it.

Saint Rita is particularly invoked to obtain healing in desperate cases, as several miraculous cures are attributed to the saint of the impossible. 

The very first miracle took place when St. Rita was still a child and the bees came and went around her without hurting her. A farmer who had cut his hand approached Rita and tried to keep the bees away. The man had seen his wound miraculously close as he extended his arm near Rita.

The second miracle is the affection that touched St. Rita: in contemplation before Christ and wishing to share his suffering, St. Rita was touched on the forehead by a thorn of the crown of Christ. Saint Rita will keep this wound on her forehead all her life, welcoming with gratitude this trial that brought her closer to Jesus.

This prayer for healing to Saint Rita will help you ask the Saint of Desperate Causes to intercede for a speedy cure of the illness that is affecting you or those you love.
