Saint Rita of Cascia, born in 1381 in Roccaporena, Umbria, was an Augustinian nun famed as the “Saint of the Impossible” for her endurance and miracles. Forced into marriage at 12 to Paolo Mancini, a violent man, she bore two sons and suffered 18 years of abuse until his murder in a feud. After her sons died of illness, intent on vengeance, Rita prayed for their salvation, then joined the Augustinian convent in Cascia around 1413. There, a mystical thorn wound on her forehead—received during prayer—marked her final 15 years, alongside visions and stigmata-like suffering. She died on May 22, 1457, her body found incorrupt, radiating a rose-like scent that persists. | Saint Rita of Cascia, born in 1381 in Roccaporena, Umbria, was an Augustinian nun famed as the “Saint of the Impossible” for her endurance and miracles.
