The
Chaplet of Saint Rita has three sets of three beads between a medal on one
end and a cross on the other end. Begin the chaplet with the prayer to Saint
Rita, and end with the three sets of three prayers on the beads.
|
Pray for us, Saint
Rita, and assist us in our need,
that we may face all seemingly impossible tasks
with patience and courage.
|
O Holy St.
Rita, exemplary Augustinian Sister, we honour you for your devotion to the
Passion of Christ. Although your early life was filled with disappointment,
frustration, and unceasing tragedy, you never lost faith and trust in God.
For this you are the patroness of the impossible, and our inspiration and
advocate in desperate circumstances.
|
Then pray an Our Father on
each of the first three beads, a Hail Mary on each of the next three
beads, and a Glory to the Father on each of the final three
beads. |
