St Rita of Cascia

Biography

Saint Rita has handed down her message without ever writing anything but using the concrete example made up of everyday life with respect for the other and for creation.

The testimonies of miracles that occurred through her intercession are so numerous that she has been declared by people of faith the “saint of impossible cases” (or saint of the impossible), insofar as, just as Rita taught us, if you place trust in God, anything can happen.

The real name of our Santa is Margherita Lotti, daughter of Antonio Lotti and Amata Ferri. The small Margherita of Roccaporena, a hamlet 5 km from Cascia, blossoms in 1371, others consider the date of 1381. As with so many girls, the time comes for young Rita to start a family. The young man who falls in love with her, and whose love she returns, is called Paolo di Ferdinando di Mancino.

He is assassinated near the “Mulinaccio”, where he had moved with Rita and their two sons. Tradition places the incident around 1406.
Rita finds out, rushes to him, but all that remains for her is to catch her husband’s death rattle and hasten to hide the bloody shirt so that, on seeing it, her sons do not end up harbouring revenge.

After the murder of her husband and the tragic death of her two sons, Rita takes refuge in prayer. It is at this time that the desire must have matured strongly to elevate her love to another level, to another spouse: Christ.

At the age of about 36, Rita knocks on the door of the Monastery of Saint Mary Magdalene. In the winter preceding her death and now seriously ill, Rita spends long periods in her cell. Probably her nostalgia for Roccaporena and the memory of Paolo and her sons come flooding back.

In 1457, on the initiative of the municipal authorities, the first miracles of Saint Rita begin to be reported in the Codex miraculorum (Code of Miracles). Among these, we find the so-called maxime, or the most extraordinary: the miracle of a blind man who regains his sight.

Rita’s body was never buried, precisely because of the strong cult born immediately after her death. Immediately, in fact, thanks to her virtues, ex-votos brought by devotees begin to arrive. Seeing so much veneration, the nuns decide to place the holy body in a case. It is at this point that Mastro Cecco Barbari takes charge of building (more likely commissioning) the first coffin called “humble case”.
