A novena—from the Latin novem , meaning nine—is a Christian tradition of praying for a specific intention over nine consecutive days. In the case of St. Rita, the novena mirrors her own life of patient endurance. Born in 1381 in Roccaporena, Italy, Rita desired to become a nun, but was married off to a harsh husband. After 18 difficult years, he was killed in a feud, and her two sons died soon after. Despite these unbearable losses, Rita forgave her enemies and eventually entered the Augustinian convent, where she received a mysterious wound on her forehead—a partial stigmata resembling a thorn from Christ’s crown. She lived 15 more years in pain and prayer, dying in 1457. Her canonization came centuries later, in 1900, but her fame as a peacemaker and miracle worker has never ceased to grow.
