Margherita, or Rita, Lotti (1381-1457) is regarded all over world as a patron saint of desperate causes, impossible cases, unhappily married women and even ... baseball players! Celebrated on May 22, this saint also offers help to students.

Saint Rita,

In your company,

I present myself to God, 

the wise Creator of the universe,

the light of human mind.

To learn through application in my studies,

I will need attention:

help me focus,

you who were always so collected.

I crave  

the internal peace to tame the passions,

the external calm to avoid intemperance.

I need intuition:

the easy comprehension of essential. 

I need to memorize:

help me to remember. 

Most of all, help me learn 

through my studies about the divine life,

so I can live my time on Earth and in eternity.

For all this Saint Rita,

entrust me to the goodness

of Jesus and the Holy Virgin.

Thank you.

Amen.
