St. Rita Pray for me and for the success of my married
Please give me the opportunity in this time of financial hardship so that I will be able to look after my family.
I would like to tell everyone that I had been trying to get a job and it seemed impossible due to a hiring freeze. I began to pray to Saint Rita of Cascia while I continued to pray to Saint Claire of Assisi, Saint Anthony of Padua and San Pancrasio. I got the job! I will continue to pray that I do well at this job and that I am able to hold on to this job despite talks of layoffs. I wish to thank The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit and all my patron saints for their help especially Saint Rita at this time
