Day 9: Patroness of impossible causes
Day 9 closes the novena with the universal patronage Saint Rita exercises in heaven.
Impossible causes
Saint Rita's life was a chain of impossibilities resolved by grace: the impossible marriage, the impossible vocation, the impossible end of the family feud, the impossible rose in winter. She is invoked today for any cause that seems closed.
Prayer
Saint Rita, Patroness of Impossible Causes, intercede for the impossible matter I have brought to this novena. With your prayer, what cannot be done by my power may yet be done by the power of God. Amen.
Conclude with one Our Father, one Hail Mary, and one Glory Be. The novena is now complete.
