Saint Rita was born in Roccaporena, Italy, and desired religious life from a young age. Obedient to her parents, she entered marriage instead and endured many years of hardship with patience, prayer, and charity. Tradition teaches that her prayers helped convert her difficult husband before his death.
After losing both her husband and sons, Rita eventually entered the Augustinian convent in Cascia. There she devoted herself completely to prayer, penance, and service to Christ. She became known for her humility, obedience, and extraordinary trust in God.
