Saint Rita of Cascia Everything is possible with God

This book retraces, with extraordinary narrative richness and historical-spiritual rigor, the entire life of Saint Rita of Cascia, from her birth in Roccaporena to her holy death in the Augustinian monastery of Saint Mary Magdalene. In an era marked by violence, family feuds, political divisions, and a profound crisis in the Church, Rita emerges as a woman of peace, forgiveness, and heroic love. A longed-for and awaited daughter, an obedient yet courageous wife, a mother wounded to the extreme, a widow marked by her family’s martyrdom, and a humble, mystical nun, Rita follows a radical evangelical path that culminates in her participation in Christ’s Passion through the gift of the thorn on her forehead. The volume intertwines history, spirituality, daily life, and popular devotion, offering an intense and credible portrait of a profoundly human saint who was completely in love with Christ, capable of transforming pain into intercession and violence into reconciliation.
