Rita of Cascia had a long journey from reluctant bride to radiant peacemaker. Her refusal to return evil for evil, even at great personal cost, reveals a soul deeply rooted in prayer and God’s love. In moments when the conflict between the Mancini and Chiqui families threatened to boil over, she stood firm in faith. Her steadfast prayers, her refusal to seek vengeance, and her patient suffering all model a love that suffers and still hopes.
