Siku ya Kwanza

Kwa Jina la Baba na la Mwana na la Roho Mtakatifu. Amina
Ee Mtakatifu Rita mfanya miujiza, uniangalie kwa macho yako yenye huruma, mimi ninaye teseka na kutoa machozi. Uone moyo wangu unaotoka damu umezungukwa na miiba. Yaone macho yangu, Ee Mtakatifu Rita, kuwa hayatoki machozi tena, kwani machozi mengi yamenitoka!
Nimechoka na kukata tamaa. Nimechoka pia kusali. Je, nikate tamaa katika misukosuko hii ya maisha yangu? Ujue! Ee Mtakatifu Rita, njoo hima unisaidie. Je, wakristo hawakuiti Mtakatifu wa mambo yaliyoshindikana na dhihirisha ukuu wa waliokata tamaa? Basi toka kwa Mungu yote ninayokuomba (hapa omba hihaji lako unalotaka kumwomba Mungu kupitia Mtakatifu Rita).
Kila mtu anasifiwa utakatifu wako. Kila mtu anasimilia maajubu na miujiza yako. Kila mtu anayotenda kwa njia yako. Je, mimi tu nitakataliwa na kukatishwa tamaa kwa vile hujanisikia? Hapana. Uniombee kwa Bwana Yesu ili anionee huruma na kunisaidia katika masumbuko na mahangaiko yangu. Kwa maombezi yako, Ee Mtakatifu Rita, niweze kupokea kile moyo wangu unatamani sana.

Day One

In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

O Saint Rita, worker of miracles, look upon me with your merciful eyes, I who suffer and shed tears. Behold my bleeding heart, surrounded by thorns. Look upon my eyes, O Saint Rita, for they can shed tears no more, since so many tears have already fallen from them!

I am weary and discouraged. I am weary even of praying. Shall I lose hope amid these trials of my life? No! O Saint Rita, come quickly to my aid. Do not Christians call you the Saint of impossible cases, and do they not proclaim your greatness to those who have fallen into despair? Obtain for me, then, from God all that I ask of you: (here make the need you desire to ask of God through Saint Rita).

Everyone praises your holiness. Everyone tells of your wonders and miracles. Everyone speaks of what is done through you. Shall I alone be rejected and left discouraged because you have not heard me? No. Intercede for me before the Lord Jesus, that He may have mercy on me and help me in my troubles and anxieties. Through your intercession, O Saint Rita, may I receive that which my heart so deeply desires.

Our Father (3), Hail Mary (3), Glory Be (3)

Through Saint Rita: may fevers, sores and plague, the germs of many diseases, demons, and wrath disappear. You help the lame; children earnestly implore you, and the dead are restored to life.

Through your intercession: thunder, earthquakes, and fire have no power. By your holiness, every snare, every great danger, and every threat disappears. You help the blind, the deaf, the mute, and the lame; children earnestly implore you, and the dead are restored to life.

Spain proclaims you the Saint of impossible cases. Many people sing your praises. Cascia glorifies your name. You help the blind, the deaf, the mute, and the lame; children earnestly implore you, and the dead are restored to life.

To God the Holy One, and to His Son, be praise, glory, and honour; praise throughout all ages of everlasting love. You help the blind, the deaf, the mute, and the lame; children earnestly implore you, and the dead are restored to life.

*V: You have marked, O Lord, Your servant Rita.*
*R: With the seal of love and suffering.*

*LET US PRAY:* O God, who graciously adorned Saint Rita with grace, so that she loved her enemies and bore in her soul and upon her forehead the marks of love and suffering: we ask You, through her intercession, for the grace to forgive our enemies and to meditate upon the sorrows of Your Passion, so that we may receive the reward You have promised to the meek and to those who suffer. You who live and reign, forever and ever. Amen.
