This thoughtful rosary and card set comes with a handcrafted rosary* and a sturdy prayer card, both exclusive to The Catholic Company. The cats eye rosary features shimmering, white beads, with an intricate glass-worked flower Our Father bead and an oxidized silver medal of St. Rita of Cascia: wife, mother, mystic, stigmatist, sister, and patron saint of impossible causes. A meaningful gift of prayer, hope and healing for anyone facing a situation that appears to be past human intervention. A special design for women, perfect for slipping in a pocket or purse, or keeping on a bedside table.
Front Text: St. Rita, intercede for us especially in those trials that appear hopeless and impossible to resolve.
Prayer: "O St. Rita, you shine as a star of hope in the midst of darkness. I know that through your intercession Our Lord often grants favors that seem impossible to human foresight, skill and efforts. I humbly ask that you bring my cause to the throne of God [mention personal request]. Have pity on my adversity, comfort me in my affliction, and purify my intention. Help me to unite my will with the will of God through the merits of my Savior Jesus Christ, and in particular through his patient wearing of the crown of thorns, which you daily contemplated with tender devotion. St. Rita, advocate of the helpless, pray for us."
