Feeling troubled or overwhelmed? With this Catholic blessing cord you can have three impossible situation saints at your fingertips to help you through your difficult times.
Impossible situations blessing cord. aka door hanger..... ***This one has a smaller loop so better to hang on a hook or small knob.***
Patron saints St. Jude, St. Rita of Cassia, St. Philomena and a Benedictine Crucifix. St. Benedict is the patron of many, many things. He is good to have with you! This blessing cord is abt 8” tall. It is my smaller, 2 strand blessing cord so it does NOT fit on door knobs unless you have the lever kind. But you can hang it on any hook or small knob, or with a chain or extra cording, hang it on your car rearview mirror. It is made of white and black hemp cording, 4 Dalmatian jasper beads, and 4 silver oxide holy medals as listed above.
Why is St. Rita an impossible situations saint? The "Saint Who?" in the Magnificat magazine, April 2023 tells us!:
Saint Rita of Cascia
Religious († 1457) Feast: May 22
Born in 1381, Rita lived in an Italy where vendetta, the endless cycle of revenge, was an everyday problem. She must have seen this firsthand, for she grew up in a family of pacieri, peacemakers who helped to arrange legal resolutions for warring parties. Rita wished to enter religious life, but could not persuade her parents, who betrothed her to a young man named Paolo Mancini.
Paolo had a fearsome temper, and Rita suffered much at his hands. Yet with time, her kindness and holiness tempered his roughness, and they had two sons. Then, after almost twenty years of marriage, Paolo was murdered. Rita prayed fervently to be able to forgive the killer. And knowing the further bloodshed that would take place, she enraged her in-laws by refusing to divulge the suspect’s name. She strove to cultivate forgiveness in her boys’ hearts as well, and was grateful to God when they died from illness without pursuing their intended revenge.
She eventually entered an Augustinian convent, where she remained until her death in 1457. John Paul II praised her as a model of forgiveness: “It is to be hoped that the life of everyone will be a life sustained by passionate love for the Lord Jesus; a life capable of responding to suffering and to thorns with forgiveness and the total gift of self, in order to spread everywhere the good odor of Christ.”
Lord Jesus, you forgave your executioners; through the intercession of Saint Rita, grant the medicine of mercy and peace to all who need it.
