She married at age 12 to Paolo Mancini. Her parents \narranged her marriage, despite the fact that she repeatedly begged them to allow her to enter a convent. Mancini was \na rich, quick-tempered, immoral man, who made many enemies in the region. St. Rita endured his insults, abuse, and \ninfidelities for 18 years, and bore two sons with Mancini, Giangiacomo Antonio and Paolo Maria. Although she tried to \nraise them with Catholic values, her sons grew to be like their father. Toward the end of her husband's life, St. \nRita helped convert him to live in a more pious manner. Although Mancini became more congenial, his allies betrayed \nhim, and he was violently stabbed to death. Before his death, he repented to St. Rita and the Church, and she forgave \nhim for his transgressions against her. After Mancini's murder, her sons wished to exact revenge on their father's \nmurderers. Knowing murder was wrong, she tried to persuade them from retaliating, but to no avail. She, instead, \nprayed to God for Him to take away the lives of her sons instead of seeing them commit such a terrible sin. In \nreligious history, God heard St. Rita's words and her sons died of natural causes a year later. After the deaths of \nher husband and sons, St. Rita desired to enter the monastery of Saint Mary Magdalene at Cascia but was spurned for \nbeing a widow, as virginity was required for entry into the convent. However, she persisted in her cause and was \ngiven a condition before the convent could accept her; the difficult task of reconciling her family with her \nhusband's murderers. She was able to resolve the conflicts between the families at the age of 36, and was allowed to \nenter the monastery. However, her actual entrance into the monastery has been described as a miracle. During the \nnight, when the doors to the monastery were locked and the sisters were asleep, St. Rita was miraculously transported \ninto the convent by her patron saints Saint John the Baptist, Saint Augustine, and Saint Nicholas of Tolentino. When \nshe was found inside the convent in the morning and the sisters learned of how she entered, they could not turn her \naway. One day, while living at the convent Rita said, \"Please let me suffer like you, Divine Saviour\". Suddenly, a \nthorn from a figure of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ fell from the crown of thorns and wounded Rita's forehead. As \na result, depictions of St. Rita show a forehead wound to represent this event. She remained at the monastery, living \nby the Augustinian Rule, until her death. She is Patron Saint of Lost and impossible causes, sickness, wounds, \nmarital problems, abuse, mothers, and recently ...
