BRIEF HISTORY OF SANTA RITA Rita was born in 1381 in Roccaporena (Italy), a small mountain village where she grew up with a fervent love for God. To obey her parents, Rita, who wanted to enter convent life, reluctantly married a violent and rebellious man. With her fervor and kindness, Rita managed to pacify her husband Paulo, and they had two children. One day, Paulo was murdered on the roadside, and her two sons vowed revenge. Unable to dissuade them from their intentions, Rita fervently prayed to God to take them away so they would not stain their lives with murder. Her prayers were answered, and Rita, now alone in the world, tried to enter convent life but was denied. Rita then intensely prayed to her three patron saints, Saint John the Baptist, Saint Augustine, and Saint Nicholas of Tolentino. After much pleading, the three saints appeared and took her to the convent, opening the doors and asking her to enter. This way, Rita could wear the Augustinian habit, fulfilling her long-held desire to dedicate herself entirely to God through penitence, prayer, and love for Christ crucified, who visibly associated her with His Passion by piercing her forehead with a thorn.
