Siku ya Tisa
*Kwa Jina la Baba na la Mwana na la Roho Mtakatifu. Amina.*
Ninakuja mbele yako, Ee Mtakatifu Rita, siku hii ya mwisho ya Novena hii takatifu. Ninayasikia mapigo ya moyo katika kipindi hiki kigumu cha maisha yangu yaliyogawanyika. Ninaamini kwamba ombi langu litatimizwa na Bwana kupitia maombezi yako matakatifu. Lakini ikiwa haiwezekani, ninapaza sauti nikiomba kwa nguvu huruma na faraja yako. Usiniache niondoke bila kupata faraja yako.
Ee Mtakatifu Rita, ninaomba unifariji kwa mastahili ya mateso uliyoyapata hapa duniani na katika upweke wako wa sala. Unifariji kwa mastahili ya ukarimu uliokuwa nao kwa wenye shida. Unisikilize kwa mastahili ya upendo wako mkuu kwa Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo, na kwa mama yake Bikira Maria Mtakatifu asiye na doa. Kwa mastahili ya ule mwiba Mtakatifu aliokujalia Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo, unisaidie na unifadhili mimi. Hiki ndicho kilio changu cha mwisho kwako wewe mama uliye Mtakatifu wa mambo yaliyoshindikana na mwombezi wa waliokata tamaa. Ninakuomba ujidhihirishe katika mwanga wako halisi, ili Mungu anijalie haya ninayoyaomba. Kwa msaada wako ninadhamiria kuachana na mwenendo wangu potofu, ili niwe mwenzaaji wa Nguvu za Mungu na uzuri wa mambo ya Mbinguni. Ninaahidi pia kuhiji mahali pako pa upweke, Ee Mtakatifu wa sala, huko Kashia, na au kwenye sanamu yako; ili niweze kuungana nawe katika kuabudu na kushukuru kwa fadhila za mbinguni nilizozipata kwa maombezi yako kutoka kwa Mwokozi wetu Azizi Yesu Kristo.

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 Nine
*In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.*
I come before you, O Saint Rita, on this final day of this holy Novena. I feel the beating of my heart in this difficult period of my troubled life. I believe that my petition will be fulfilled by the Lord through your holy intercession. But if it is not possible, I raise my voice, pleading earnestly for your mercy and consolation. Do not let me depart without receiving your comfort.
O Saint Rita, I beg you to console me by the merits of the sufferings you endured here on earth and in your solitude of prayer. Console me by the merits of the generosity you showed toward those in need. Hear me by the merits of your great love for our Lord Jesus Christ and for His Mother, the holy and Immaculate Virgin Mary. By the merits of that holy thorn which our Lord Jesus Christ granted to you, help me and favour me. This is my final cry to you, holy mother, Saint of impossible cases and intercessor of those who have lost hope. I ask you to reveal yourself in your true light, so that God may grant me these things for which I pray. With your help, I resolve to renounce my wrongful way of life, so that I may become a sharer in the power of God and in the beauty of the things of heaven. I also promise to make pilgrimage to your place of solitude, O Saint of prayer, there in Cascia, and/or to your statue, so that I may unite myself with you in adoration and thanksgiving for the heavenly favours I have received through your intercession from our beloved Saviour, Jesus Christ.
*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.
