Subject: St. Rita of Cascia, 14th Century Stigmatist

St. Rita of Cascia was accepted into the convent despite an unusual history one does not usually find it the life of a canonized saint - in her case, a marriage to a notoriously violent spouse and widowhood, which should have precluded her from entering the convent. She upheld extraordinary grace and spiritual devotion throughout this and many tumultous sufferings throughout her life, and became known for possessing a gift of miracles through her dedicated prayers. She received a stigmata which she carried to the time of her death, and her body is purported to have remained intact for three centuries after her passing. She is known as the Patroness and Saint of the Impossible.
