ST. RITA OF CASCIA: The Saint of Impossible Causes: A Life of Suffering, Forgiveness, Unshakable Faith, and Miracles - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

*She was told no three times. Then Heaven carried her over the wall.*Rita Lotti was a child who prayed in a storeroom with a twig cross, a girl forced to marry the most violent man in Cascia, a wife who loved him with empty hands for eighteen years, a mother who prayed the most dangerous prayer a mother can pray — *take my sons before they become murderers* — and a widow with a blood feud and no dowry who was rejected by the convent three times.
On a blizzard night, three saints carried her over the wall.
For forty years she scrubbed floors behind that wall. Then she asked God for a thorn. He gave her one in her forehead that festered for fifteen years — and sometimes smelled of roses.
Dying in the coldest winter in memory, she asked for a fig and a rose from a dead garden. It was January. They bloomed in the snow.
She died in a cell filled with light. Six hundred years later, her body has never corrupted, and roses still bloom every winter where she died.
*This is not a history book. It's a survival guide for your impossible.*
If you have a marriage gone cold, a child slipping away, a closed door, a thorn that won't heal, or a winter that won't end — St. Rita, the Patroness of Impossible Causes, has been waiting for you.
Your past is not your prison. Your wound can become a rose. Your impossible is her specialty.
