Free St. Rita Of Cascia: Saint Of The Impossible Ebooks Online
One of the most popular Saints in the Church for centuries, St. Rita is known as the \"Saint of the Impossible\" because of her amazing answers to prayers, as well as the remarkable events of her own life. Desirous of being a nun, she instead obeyed her parents and married. Her husband was cruel, and caused her much suffering, to which she responded with love and prayers and eventually converted him. After the death of her husband and two sons, Rita was able to enter a convent, where she devoted herself to prayer and penance. She abandoned herself totally to God, diminishing herself as He increased in her. An inspiring story of a soul completely resigned to God\'s will. 132 pgs, PB

I found St. Rita during a hard time in my life when I returned to the Catholic Faith. I think without her, I would still have many more troubles. I think through learning of her and her struggles it has helped me in my own. I ask her for help and I think I get what I need.If you are interested in knowing about St. Rita then this book is for you. I just got done reading this and the chapter about all the miracles is just mindboggling.Please read about this great Saint.
I had originally gone to to find a book about a mystic, a book I had read some years ago, and found it once again. The story of St. Rita was recommended. It was noted she was the saint of the impossible and having an issue at the time, I thought reading her life story would be an inspiration. I was not disappointed. What an amazing woman for her time and the present times as well. She had indeed walked with the saints, and still sets an example to be aspired to. In a time when miracles seem to be just a delusion, after reading about her and praying to St. Rita, I can honestly say this dear woman is closest to all that is good and holy. Anyone that is in need of hope should read this profound book. It's not all that long a read, but it will inspire and perhaps reinforce ones faiththat there is someone watching over us, and miracles are still possible after all.
The great love and admiration the author has for this remarkable saint shines through on every page. Read of St. Rita's disappointments, severe penances and many virtues as you relive her life as wife, mother and nun. Learn why she is known as a "Saint of the Impossible." An unforgettable story including cruelty, conversion, murder, revenge and miraculous solutions. Wow! 182pp. PB. Imprimatur.
This is no reflection on St. Rita, but the book seems to be like a comic book--after I read the Life of St. Gemma Galgani by Venerable Fr. Germanus. Drawing comparisons may be unfair because there are likely few eyewitness accounts recorded with St. Rita, but the writing is flowery and insubstantial."That Rita, in her hours of sadness and affliction, mourned the absence of a little one to fondle and caress; of a tiny baby mouth to kiss; of a little crib over which she could softly sing a lullaby, we are inclined to believe." (p. 41)This sentence is unexceptional with respect to the saccharine sweetness of the author's writing.St. Gemma's Life, on the other hand, felt real, heady, like you were really getting to know someone and so began to treasure them as your personal friend. Fr. Germanus writing is exact, descriptive, lacking little in the way that great literature puts thoughts clearly and memorably before the reader.St. Rita is a wonderful saint, no question, but this book misses the mark of making her life-like.
I really got lost in reading about St. Rita and this book does a good job. There are some things from book to book that don't match, but the basic information is mostly in all of them. This one though is one of my favorites that I have read and I have read 3.
Hagiography at what was normal 100 years ago. The fact is, there is very little historical information about this wonderful saint. I don't particularly like writing about someone that is so far removed from any lived life. But St. Rita is my patron, I rely on her and she's been my guide for years, so while this story of her life is way over the top and unreal, I'm still glad I got it.This is what I expected. It would be wonderful, however, if someone wrote about this (and other) saint without all the high-flying stuff that would never be part of a normal life.
It is written in a very old style (in another century) and I felt the writer glorified everything, which means I felt he didn't exactly tell the truth, but gave his version of it. But I recently finished restoring a life sized statue of St. Rita and was interested in her history. I got more information online than this book provided.
A book that reflects of one of the most holy saints in catholic history and will help us on how to lead a peaceful and a pleasant life according to will of our holy father.If you pray anything in the name of her your requests will be granted but it may take time as we need the patience which our holy saint done during her lifetime
