SAINTS & ART: The feast of St. Rita of Cascia, celebrated May 22, reminds us of the healing power of prayer, penance and forgiveness — and her spiritual kinship with Pope Leo XIV, the Church’s new Augustinian pope.
St. Rita is now honored as the patroness of impossible causes, as well as of difficult marriages and infertility.
