Saint Rita of Cascia: The True Story
1h 2m

This compelling docu-drama tells the whole story of the amazing life of St. Rita of Cascia, the very popular saint who lived in Italy in the late 14th and early 15th centuries. Famous as the patroness of hopeless situations, St. Rita dealt with many very difficult and tragic events in her life. Through it all she developed a profound faith in God that was the source of her great strength—one of the reasons why she is such a popular saint for all those dealing with difficult events in their own lives. Her story combines high drama, great love, deep betrayal, profound forgiveness, and strong faith. This story is about a brave woman who married her knight, helped him overcome his dark past and convert to faith, happily bore him two children, and later endured immense pain as she lost everything in her life. She found peace and new hope through the generosity of a nearby convent of sisters, and with their help she developed a deep union with Christ that greatly inspired all around her.
