I know that the Novena to Saint Rita of Cascia is prayed every day for nine days, but I just learned that we can also do it every hour for nine hours. Perhaps this can be done by devotees with intentions or requests needing immediate answers or responses from the Lord. I myself have a few important requests that I am desperate to be immediately heard and granted. Below is the Novena to St Rita of Cascia.
Oh Blessed Patroness of people in great need, St Rita, whose pleads before the Divine Lord God are irresistible and heard, who because of her lavishness in granting requests and favors is known as Help of the Hopeless and likewise the Impossible.
St. Rita, you are so humble, so mortified and pure, so patient and of great compassionate love for Jesus Christ that you can obtain from Him whatsoever you may ask, showing your power with the Lord God on behalf of your suppliant; I pray that you be lavish to me, as you have been in many case, for the glory of the Lord, for the cultivation and spread to your devotion, and consolation to devotees trusting thee.
I promise to you, that if my petitions are granted, to glorify you by making known your favor, and to bless and sing praises to you forever. Relying on your power and merits before Sacred Heart of Jesus Our Lord, I pray that you grant my request (state your intention here)
