St Rita was born in Spoleto, Italy in 1381. Although she wanted to become a nun, her parents forced her into marriage. She was a good wife and mother, but her husband was a violent man who taught their two sons his evil and disrespectful ways. After being married 20 years, her husband was stabbed in a knife fight. Thanks to Rita's prayers, he repented of his sins before he died. Her two sons died soon after this, so Rita fulfilled her dream of joining a convent. She was so devoted to the passion of Christ that once during prayer, a thorn from the crown of thorns pierced her forehead. The wound never healed and caused her much suffering. She died in 1457.
