Siku ya Tano
*Kwa Jina la Baba na la Mwana na la Roho Mtakatifu. Amina.*
Ewe mchumba mpendwa wa Yesu, Mtakatifu Rita wa Kashia. Nakuja kwako tena. Nipo miguuni pako. Navutwa na wema wako kwa roho zenye kutaabika na kusumbuka. Unauona moyo wangu ulivyopondwapondwa kwa magumu ya dunia hii. Sipati tena tabasamu la thamani, roho yangu imevamiwa na mashaka mabaya, imani imetetereka na mshituko wa kukata tamaa kama msituko wa kifo unapiga miayo miguuni pangu. Nielekeze, Ee Mtakatifu mpendwa, nifanye nini katika mazingira haya ya kutisha? Nishauri nimwendee nani katika hali hii ya hatari katika maisha yangu? Kama kweli wewe ni Mtakatifu wa hali zote za kukatisha tamaa, njoo unisaidie kwani najisikia nimepotea. Nakuja kwako wewe ambaye kila mara wawahurumia wanaoteseka. Nakuja kwako unisaidie. Je, hutanionea huruma kutokana na hali yangu? Mtakatifu Rita najua u mwema sana. Najua hivyo, ndiyo maana najiweka mikononi mwako kwa moyo wangu wote ili unijibu kwa njia ya Yesu, lile ombi langu ambalo kwa imani kubwa naliomba **(hapa omba hitaji lako unalotaka kumwomba Mungu kupitia Mtakatifu Rita).**
*Baba Yetu (3), Salamu Maria (3), Atukuzwe Baba (3)*
Kwa njia ya Mtakatifu Rita:- homa, madonda na tauni, viini vya maradhi mbalimbali, mapepo na ghadhabu vitoweke. *Unawasaidia vipofu, viziwi, bubu na viwete: watoto wanaomba sana na wafu wanarudishiwa uhai.*
Kwa maombezi yako:- radi, tetemeko la ardhi na moto havina nguvu. Kwa utakatifu wako mitego yote, hatari kubwa na vitisho vyote hutoweka. *Unawasaidia vipofu, viziwi, bubu na viwete: watoto wanaomba sana na wafu wanarudishiwa uhai.*
Hispania wanakutangaza kuwa Mtakatifu wa mambo yaliyoshindikana. Watu wengi wanaimba sifa zako. Kashia hutukuza jina lako. *Unawasaidia vipofu, viziwi, bubu na viwete: watoto wanaomba sana na wafu wanarudishiwa uhai.*
Kwa Mungu Mtakatifu, na kwa Mwanae ziwe sifa, utukufu na heshima, sifa kwa karne zote za pendo la milele. *Unawasaidia vipofu, viziwi, bubu na viwete: watoto wanaomba sana na wafu wanarudishiwa uhai.*
*K: Umemtia alama, Ee Bwana, mtumishi wako Rita.*
*W: Kwa mhuri wa upendo na mateso.*
*TUOMBE:* Ee Mungu, uliyekubali kumtawadha Mtakatifu Rita kwa neema, hata akakubali kuwapenda adui zake hadi akapata rohoni mwake na katika paji la uso alama za upendo na mateso. Tunakuomba kupitia maombezi yake, neema za kusamehe adui zetu na kutafakari maumivu ya mateso yako, ili tupate tuzo ulilotuahidia kwa wapole na wanaoteseka. Unayeishi na kutawala, daima na milele. Amina.

Day Five
*In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.*
O beloved spouse of Jesus, Saint Rita of Cascia, I come to you once again. I am at your feet. I am drawn by your goodness toward souls that are afflicted and troubled. You see how my heart has been crushed by the hardships of this world. I no longer find a precious smile; my soul has been invaded by evil doubts, my faith has been shaken, and the shock of despair, like the shock of death, yawns at my feet. Guide me, O beloved Saint; what shall I do in these dreadful circumstances? Advise me: to whom shall I go in this dangerous state of my life? If truly you are the Saint of all desperate situations, come to my aid, for I feel lost. I come to you, who always have compassion on those who suffer. I come to you: help me. Will you not have mercy on me because of my condition? Saint Rita, I know that you are very good. I know this, and for that reason I place myself wholly in your hands, with all my heart, so that through Jesus you may answer the petition which, with great faith, I make: **(here make the need you desire to ask of God through Saint Rita).**
*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 blind, the deaf, the mute, and 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.
