- she was married due to an arranged marriage
- her husband abused her
- she had 2 sons
- she joined the convent after her abusive husband and sons died
- she died on this day in 1457
- today is her feast day
I'll bet Haleigh (my niece) knew this.
To me, I think it's amazing she had such strong faith living the life she led. Being beat by your own husband? Watching him die, and then watching your own children die?! I tend to lose faith in those times.
St. Rita is cooler than I knew.

I think I knew the first three things...but that was forever ago, so thanks for refreshing my memory!
I need to read more about saints. I have some neat things for the kids but that's about it. Thanks for sharing.
I just read her card in the church today. Grandmom sanda lived a long life because she lived on Rita Rd.
