This medal depicts St. Rita of Cascia receiving the stigmata from the crown of thorns as she prays in front of a crucifix. Rita of Cascia went down to history as a saint of impossible causes, which is why many faithful invoke her through a series of nine prayers, called St Rita novena. Give this medal to those seeking balance in their family lives.
